STrib: For a backup, U's Boddy-Calhoun takes a leap forward

[BleedGopher]

per the Christensen:

Asked if that moment felt like validation for all his work, Boddy-Calhoun said, “Definitely, but I felt like that was a team thing. [Injured linebacker] Peter Westerhaus came up and said, ‘You’re going to make a pick today,’ so that meant a lot. And I just felt like I had to make a pick for him.

“Yes, I think it’s me working hard, but I wouldn’t have worked that hard if I didn’t have the great team leaders and the great teammates to push me.”

He's a pretty impressive kid. Am I crazy to think that Wells, Murray, and Boddy-Calhoun all have NFL potential?

Not at all. Jury may still be out, but I would have to think Boddy-Calhoun is just as capable of making an NFL roster as Marcus Sherels, even though Sherels has punt return capability. We also know what Wells can do, and Murray definitely looks the part already.
