Dan Biggar is not unknown to a fair bit of chatter on the rugby field.
But, off it, the Wales fly-half tends to adopt a more humble attitude when it comes to attention directed at himself.
It was no different after being named Wales' new captain for the upcoming Six Nations, with Biggar being chosen to replace the injured Alun Wyn Jones for the campaign.
Pointing to Wales' lengthy injury list which has the likes of Jones, Justin Tipuric, Ken Owens, Taulupe Faletau, George North and Josh Navidi on it, Biggar reacted to his appointment as skipper with an element of humour.
Former mentor and Ospreys coach Sean Holley told BBC Radio Wales on Wednesday: "I spoke to him and in his usual humble way he said, 'thanks very much but I think I'm the only one left to do it'.
"He's got so much humility, it's what endears us all to him.
"He had a tough start to his career. A lot of people questioned whether he was good enough, he's always shown resilience in adversity, and he's been an absolute consummate professional and a warrior for Wales."

Holley, a well-respected pundit, admitted he was a little surprised that Biggar was chosen as skipper.
"I thought Ellis Jenkins might have got it off the back of the autumn, and Dan will almost have been a captain within the squad anyway," said Holley.
"But I think Wayne Pivac has probably looked at the depletion of the squad in terms of experience and looked at Daniel and thought 'this is the guy I need to lead'."
As for his tendency to call Biggar by his full first name 'Daniel' rather than the 'Dan' most of us are more used to, Holley explained: "I'm probably the only one that does! I think it's because in his early days he could be quite tempestuous. He's not afraid to say what he thinks, so I would have to be quite stern - a bit like his mother was and say 'Daniel, now then!' I think it's probably stuck."
