[Orr has only seven catches overall but they've been timely, according to Mason, which goes along with his blocking.] He had a 7-yard catch the other day at North Carolina, ... that was as good of a catch as you'll see in tight quarters. |
and good things will happen. |
And that was a great help to us in selling Lance on Wisconsin. |
At practice two days ago you could see the look in his eyes. You knew he was going to play well today. And he didn't disappoint. |
Because of some of the things he went through early in his career, how hard he works, how important it is to him, how he lives his life off the field and things that are important to him. |
Brandon has been playing pretty well in a lot of different areas and, obviously, on special teams, ... His game as a receiver is starting to form up. You can see it on film. You can see that he's healthy again. He's running with speed and making some good cuts. |
He is not a vocal person, |
He really worked hard on gaining some weight. He's a stronger player. Hopefully, that strength will carry over (during the season). |
He was kind of the odd man out because there weren't enough passes to go around. But he was a great No. 3 receiver and very much of a team guy. He never complained. |
He'll have to have a great summer working out with the quarterbacks. They can't throw enough in the summer. It's not important to learn plays. It's important to learn how to run the routes. |
He's done some things that get your attention. Just like any young guy, you're looking for a level of consistency. That's what we're trying to get out of these 15 (spring practices). We're going to keep him in there and we're going to see what he can do. |
He's just very energetic. He said to me early on that he wanted to be a head coach who was going to be a good recruiter. He was a good recruiter as an assistant. We used to bump heads all the time in Florida and when you went against him you knew you had to - quote, unquote - bring your 'A' game to beat him. He brings a passion to the recruiting part of it. I like that he is a guy who will get his hands dirty a little bit in the recruiting process as far as being out on the road a bunch. |
I just like the way he goes about his business. I'm not going to say he is going to be the next first-rounder. But I really think that at some point in time he can help us. |
I think everyone is very excited with the receivers we're bringing in. They're guys, we feel, who could come in and make a big impact for us. Lance is one of those special kids, but there are other ones, too. |
I think we've got some guys that can come in and help us. I think they're very good. All of them bring a little something different to the table. They're different types of receivers. |
