Athan?

 

[Gophs24]

Yes. Heard some solid reports on him from the practice today.

 

[WriterGoph]

Anybody who attended able to share their reviews/thoughts?

 

[kg21]

Yes. Heard some solid reports on him from the practice today.

they raved about him all last season as scout team qb!

 

[Flecknation]

For those who went did you see a big improvement with offense yet now that KC is back?

Guessing it would be really tough to get a read on that in practice. Might get a little taste in the spring game but we really won't know how different the offense is going to look until we get to the actual games this fall.

 

[BTChamp]

Maybe TV doesn't do justice to how fast all QB's are, and this video/angle just shows it better, but that ball is out of his hand in a hurry. It just pops. "Greek Rifle" indeed.

Mo, Potts, and Bryce all practicing?!
Athan looking like Josh Allen in a workout video?!
Commitment from RB with over 30 offers?!

[Chandler Bing voice] Could my chili BE any hotter?!?!?!

I don't think Mo and Potts are going to take any scrimmage reps that are close to live, though.

Certainly individual drills and practicing plays that are more like "run throughs". Could easily be wrong though.

Important part is that they are back on the field practicing even if it isn't at full speed. Mo never does much in spring anyway due to Ramadan which tends to overlap with spring ball.

Athan looks like a pretty sizeable dude in the Fox 9 video.

Athan looks like a pretty sizeable dude in the Fox 9 video.

He has a good 2-3" on the other QBs currently on the roster (Knuth is also 6'4" but won't be here till the fall) so makes sense that he would stand out.

 

[noamfromm]

It always looks like he is pushing the ball, if you want to see someone with some zip on his throws I'd recommend going to UST's spring practices to checkout Kowalkowski

Other than the last two years Ramadan has never overlapped with spring ball
