Another short leash day from Butch, which was a little disappointing as it was the first day in pads, but not entirely surprising.
We did get a good dose of 1-on-1 work between WRs and DBs today and some of the young offensive. In a marquee match-up Josh Malone made a really nice end zone catch against Cam Sutton. Freshman Marquez Callaway got loose from Justin Martin to make a grab in the corner. Ethan Wolf caught one on JRM but seemed to pretty clearly push off.
In DL vs. OL work it was sometimes hard to see what the match-up was exactly, but overall seemed like the OL came out better than they did when we saw them on Thursday. Drew Richmond looked like he had a couple of nice reps against Kyle Phillips first and then later against Vereen.
Dimarya Mixon had a couple of very nice reps, maybe the best one we saw when he got by Brett Kendrick. Later on he also came out well in a match-up with freshman OL Marcus Tatum. Tatum later had a good rep stoning Quarte Sapp. Austin Sanders continues to show some toughness, had a really good rep against Kongbo in 1-on-1 and Jashon Robertson held his own when matched up against McKenzie.
We saw a lot of QBs and WRs just working against air, so no hard conclusions but you can't watch these guys work and not think the position is upgraded from last year. Preston Williams made a couple of acrobatic catches on the sideline, I'm about ready to get on the hype train and buy stock in Brandon Johnson. I'm also liking Devante Brooks more and more. Hope he can stay healthy, but he's a nice looking prospect IMO.
On the offensive front clearly nothing has been decided yet but looks like Richmond might be a little ahead at LT based on watching today.
