I expect a lot of offers to come his way now that he'll be a junior because he'll make a lot of noise when he takes the field.   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/StevenHosk1ns/status/1614012520133693440 </div></figure>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/StevenHosk1ns/status/1621630272520208392 </div></figure>
