PiPress: MarQueis Gray grew as a passer and a person in offseason


When I read the headline, I kept thinking about an Onion-type story:

Coaches raved about his offseason growth during a recent practice.
"He grew as a person. Literally. He's like six-foot, 10-inches tall now. He's a massive human. I mean, he had a huge growth spurt; I'm not saying he 'grew as a person' as a tired sportswriter offseason narrative. Quote me directly: MarQueis looks like he's on f**king stilts.
"I have no idea how this will impact his throwing prowess or his ability to pass the ball efficiently in college football. Is there any statistical information to support a quarterback being seven inches taller than everyone else? Maybe that Smart Football guy from Twitter has it in his book that just came out. But I know this: Gray will definitely be a stand out on the field this year. Just look at him. It's like Shawn f--king Kemp throwing out patterns and running the read option."
 

I also have noticed Gray's height. He's not 6-10, but I bet he's near 6-5 or 6-6--and Kill metioned he's 255.

Sounds like it's going to be very hard to keep McDonald and Harbison off the field.
