[QUOTE="gt13, post: 563335, member: 369"] Went to the student practice this morning. Calvin Johnson was there along with a ton of recruits, including Jordan Williams, and old players like Taquon and Cerge Henderson. Jordan Williams is MASSIVE. He looked bigger than most of our big guys and they were all wearing pads. As for the practice, I never saw a CPJ practice so I cant really compare the two but there's music blasting the whole time and everyone gets really into it. Quez Jackson made an INT and the sideline exploded and he immediately went running to sign the hustle board. They really seem to get into the competitive aspect of practice and it seems like they all have fun out there. Watched a LOT of passing drills as well as some 7 on 7 and 11 on 11. The main takeaway: there were a LOT of interceptions. Tipped balls, bad throws, great plays - the secondary was everywhere and causing havoc. I think our best athletes on the team at the moment are in our secondary and I think with a good scheme and a good pass rush (Clayton!) they might have great success this year. Quez, Juanyeh, Tariq ("Riq the Freak" is not his nickname just cuz it rhymes - he has gotten huge), Charlie Thomas, Tre, Ajani Kerr, Zamari, Askew, Kaleb Oliver all look great. I really think that's going to be a fun group to watch. Jalen Camp made some awesome catches including a one handed snag on the sideline. Adonicas Sanders also looked good and made some plays including a really nice catch in coverage thrown by James Graham. Jalen Camp looked like the best receiver to me. These two stood out the most from what I saw. Camp, Sanders, Ezzard (I assume), Carter will be a lot for teams to account for. Tyler Davis had a good practice. He has good hands and size (hes taller than Malachi Carter). Hes going to be an asset for us this year. Now to QB. I know it is just one practice, one data point of an entire spring/summer/fall practice schedule, but to my untrained eye James Graham was very impressive. He can throw the ball very well and is an even better runner. Very elusive and great speed. He also has good size. Hes definitely taller and heavier than Taquon was. Shorter than Lucas but more solid and a more confident runner. Lucas appears to be running with "the 1s" but they're switching everyone out so much it's hard to tell. However.... really cant sleep on Tobias either. I think hes the best runner of the 3 and he really can pass. We didn't see it much last year but he throws a good ball and really can pass pretty well. Patenaude wasnt lying when he said our QBs can throw. When they're in the gun and have 4 or 5 receivers running routes and time to make a throw, it really does make a difference. In conclusion: no idea who will be at QB. Graham looks the part and definitely passes the eye test. Lucas also appears to be a solid option and can throw well although I felt he missed more of his throws than Graham did. And then of course dont be surprised if Tobias gets the job.
