Mario wants to spread defenses out to create running lanes with a powerful OL, while also having the ability to punish people in the passing game. To do that you need a guy with a big arm who can spread the ball all over the field, and being 6'6" 225lbs as a 12 grader means he'll be able to punish people on the scramble if he wants as well. As you can see from the clip, he's an athlete with the ball in in hands and could bring another dimension to the offense with his legs.
This is Justin Herbert type talent.
On a side note, he's also a leader with a ton of confidence; which will pay dividends in the locker-room.
that's the one thing that isn't there for Dawson to the degree that he had last year. Clayton Tune was a real athlete, he could tuck it run and got big yards. Not sure that will ever be utilized with TVD. The big run from Ajay Allen on that 3rd and 2, the backside end just completely crashed down -- if TVD pulls it, thats probably a big a gain as Allen got
