Hopefully he gets some toke in the weight room just needs to be bigger stronger and faster I believe he can be plug in and play next year.

He has all summer to work on getting stronger, and faster.

It’s a big enough adjustment for a 17/18 year old going to college for the first time without sports. Now factor in 2 sports, with practice and meetings taking up your entire day. Then what about game days? If your on the road you’re not going to be working out and if it’s a home game you’re whole day is planned. That’s a big ask for anyone, let alone someone away from home for the first time in their lives.

I'm not worried. McNabb did it and he was the starting QB.

Didn’t he just do it his senior season?

No pretty sure he had a bench seat for the 96 run

This goes without saying:
Charlie Ward
Julius Peppers
Tony Gonzalez
Ronald Curry

they have also done it.

No. He played during the 95-96 and 96-97 seasons. I think it was that second year he played a lot during a Georgetown game when we had a bunch of guys foul out.

Yeah. I believe he was credited with starting that legs crossed-uncross-stomp-stomp-cross the other way thing during freethrows that kept guys loose.
