“My phone was buzzing so I pull it out and it says 'Sean McVay,'" Nacua said. "I was like, ‘Oh, yup. Let me answer this’ – automatic, no hesitation. I just turned around and was like, ‘Yo, what’s up Coach?’ He was like, ‘What are you doing?’ I’m like, ‘I’m at Kobie’s wedding right now.’ He’s like, ‘Oh, all right. Just wanted to call you and see what you thought if we get Davante Adams.’
