"One of the great things from a player's perspective about Howard is you know he's done it," Saturday said. "He was a fantastic player in this league [seven NFL seasons with San Francisco and Chicago, three Pro Bowl invitations]. He understands that there are going to be times when you're going to get beat and just get overmatched physically. Those aren't the things he beats you up about. He beats you up about making mental mistakes or putting yourself in a position where you know you can't succeed."
