Bench is a prospect that may be flying under the radar a bit likely due to the offensive scheme he is playing in with limited passing opportunities. Plays in a hybrid Wing-T scheme with limited snaps out of the shotgun and a heavy dose of play action out...

Tom Brady is pretty good at play action, so maybe that is a good thing.

Perhaps the 1st test for BOB

So it begins, the QB guru gets his 1st test. Can he find and improve a qb ? Sorry to say this now that he’s not here anymore but JayPa did not do a great job improving QB’s. I am interested in seeing what BOB can do with theis young man from GA. Not many schools interested, may or may not be because of his offense. Time will tell.
