- The big difference with
Brad Kaaya is physical. He is leaner, quicker and more athletic in the pocket. He was on his game today, and landed beautiful downfield throws to
Braxton Berrios and
Herb Waters in between multiple defenders.
- All of the running backs had good days, but the star of the show was
Trayone Gray. He had a gliding, 80-yard touchdown run that opened eyeballs. He also showed off his superior athleticism by reversing field on a long run. He has been the most spectacular back throughout camp.
- Waters, Berrios and
Rashawn Scott all made big plays. Scott showed some of his run after the catch ability, as well.
-
David Njoku has proven to be a redzone weapon flexed out wide, a la Jimmy Graham. He made a very athletic TD catch on a fade from Kaaya.
- With a couple exceptions, the offensive line did a decent job.
Sonny Odogwu,
Kc McDermott,
Tyree St. Louis and
Danny Isidora all saw reps at RT, with Darling, McDermott and St. Louis getting reps at LT.
-
Kendrick Norton caught
caught my eye early in camp and he continues to impress every practice. He gets off blocks much better than I expected, and he even showed athleticism in pursuit. He may not have gotten three sacks, but he was disrupting everything. Bottom-heavy, explosive, flexible, aware-- he's the best defensive tackle prospect UM has had in years.
-
Rayshawn Jenkins is healthy and looks poised to start opposite Deon Bush. He jumped in front of a Vincent Testaverde pass and took it to the house.
-
Evan Shireffs caught my eye with a TD drive. He is more athletic than people think at 6'6, and you can see his intelligence on the field. It will be interesting to watch his development.
