It looks like he's back up to speed. It looks like he's set for a big year. |
Most wide receivers are 400-plus. If he could ever get to that point, you've got to think he would be faster. |
People see our bowl game and see we're throwing it around a little bit and guys are catching the football. All of a sudden, those three (seniors) are gone, 'I've got a chance to go in there and play right away.' That's always a good thing. |
Take football totally out of the equation and he is a quality young man. He is an unbelievable individual. He is a guy you want to be around. He just leads with the way he conducts himself and the way he handles his business. |
That was the only thing that people didn't know. Obviously some teams don't like small receivers so he'll be at the mercy of the team. |
We got the guys we went after. That's the bottom line. Our percentage, I don't know what it is, but there weren't many kids we brought to campus that we didn't get. I like the fact we were able to do that. |
We're just trying to shake it out and see who is going to be consistent and who can we count on. It's Day 2. We don't have the answer yet. |
We're looking for him to develop a level of consistency where we can count on him for whatever it is, try to define his role and see how far he can take it. He has some good tools and now he has his opportunity to take a step forward and we're hoping he can do that. |
When you watch them on tape, ... they look like cutout paper dolls as they're backpedaling. They all look the same, and that's the way they're being coached. I'm very impressed with the things that they do, and we'll get a good indication of where we are after this weekend. |
You get to learn who's in the next class and you hear things, maybe a kid is on the rise. For Bret, Paul and myself, it was pretty much a city a day. |
You miss that much time with that type of injury you don't get to take very many reps physically or mentally. He is (cleared) medically, but the endurance factor and the concentration level are still a long way away from a guy who is going to be in the depth for you. |
