Alan Brogan on The GAA Hour: "He's a strong man. Even though he looks quite small in stature, he's very well built. He's strong in the air.
"He's a ball-winner, that's his main attribute for me. He can obviously score as well but his ball-winning is fantastic, right from an early age you could see that in him.
""There was this perception that he's a nice footballer and a nice young lad and stuff and maybe he's shaved the head to change that perception. But he does look a lot tougher now."
Charlie Redmond: "He's got a chiselled jaw, his frame is much bigger, his biceps and triceps are there to be seen. That wasn't there two years ago. And we're seeing that development in a player which obviously there's been a lot of work in the gym over the winter and throughout the year.
"He identifies to me the commitment that's required by any player that wants to play for Dublin. It's not enough just to have the talent, talent is not enough.
"You have to be prepared to work as hard as anyone else on the squad. To sacrifice holidays, your social life and be a player, and a player only for Dublin."
Peter Canavan on Sky Sports: "The continued upward learning curve of Con O'Callaghan is interesting. He is now so central to this Dublin team in terms of his ball-winning capacity. He can win the ball whatever way, any way it comes in. We all know he's a goalscorer, but now he's setting up colleagues for scores as well.
He's developing into a real all-round footballer."
