What a ringing endorsement haha.

"Man, he's so good that he allowed a reception to our 4th string receiver and almost knocked it out, but didn't. What a play!"

Being a Rookie and in the right place to make a play is great news, why would he drill his teammate to knock it loose? During a game yes. I don't even think they are allowed contact at this point right?
