Brantley starting nickel

Thank god we have competition. ... But I have to say, those two are so different you're basically talking about two different positions. I want Brown to improve the leadership and violence on that side of the ball. Brantely is glue on receivers, but will not scare any WR or OC. Keep him away from teams like Cuse and Ga Tech. He'll be great against a UL or SMU type team.

I was so concerned about the lack of talk by @DMoney and other insiders about our TE room (except for Lofton, of course, who really isn't a TE), that I went back and watched his games versus Florida (2024 bowl game) and USC (2022). Kid looked good. He was a finesse inline blocker, not a McCormick guy. But he blocked excellently. Only time I saw his defender make a play was when the ball carrier basically ran right in the direction where Bauman was blocking him towards. And he catches the ball well, too.

He's no Arroyo physically. But it may not matter marginally from a game impact perspective, because he'll be able to do what Arroyo did functionally.
