"Ain't nobody like me," he said. 

"When I say it ain't nobody like me, it's talking about the secondary. Obviously, last year in this secondary, we had ups and downs, but we're going to be exciting. We're going to be dynamic. We're going to play fast. And it ain't going to be nobody like us. So, when I say it ain't nobody like me, it ain't nobody like me."
