[QUOTE="BCJacket, post: 769288, member: 2332"] My speculation is that the coaches are preparing him as an 'emergency QB'. When Sims came out of the Pitt game, Yates went in. If Yates had gone down, did we have a QB to put in? Graham and Gleason have left/are leaving. IIUC, walk-ons weren't traveling/dressing with the teams this year due to Covid. Who knows what the protocols will be next year? We need at least 3 scholarship players ready to go in at QB. Even if we have to run a limited package with someone. What if Yates decides to leave too? What if Peery isn't ATL or doesn't travel next year? What if (knock on wood) something happens with one of those three that they can't play. My guess is the coaches looked at the roster to see who [I]could [/I]play QB if needed. Knight was a QB all the way up through HS. Kind of like how baseball teams usually have two catchers on the roster, but there's a position player who played catcher in HS ready in an emergency. I speculate they'll have Knight work at QB in Spring and have an idea of what he can do if needed. Move him back to LB mostly in the Summer. Maybe use him as a situation QB - wildcat, goal line, etc to get him reps. Maybe use him as a holder for field goals, as a big danger to fake. That's one way to keep the blockers honest, have Knight run fake field goal a few times. Positional flexibility. I'd also guess that moving Graham to another position and having him as emergency QB was their first choice. But he wanted to play QB. Knight is a very similar type of player. [/QUOTE]
