Jerrard Randall

I've been hearing reports that conflict a bit with what I saw at practice on Friday about Jerrard Randall. Anyone else in Gridiron want to correct me on a few things?

One of my biggest takeaways from Friday's practice was Jerrard Randall was a huge steal. Not only was he bigger than I expected, but he appeared to be a much more polished passer with great form and a high release point. Not to mention his lightning fast feet.

Granted I only saw him throw during warm ups (he was held out of drills due to arm soreness, i believe), but he was looking very good in limited action.

I also left thinking he was probably a solid 6'1'' to 6'2''. But looking at the pictures online, he looks pretty damn short (keep in mind, he's standing between Mett and Rivers in most of those pictures).

I also left very impressed with that walk on from Barbe (Butler, is it?). A bit undersized, but the kid was athletic and accurate--arguably the most accurate along with Mett of all the underclassman. Rivers showed promise, but needs work with mechanics and footwork. A 6'7'' guy shouldn't be throwing the ball from the same release point as a 6'1'' guy. That said, he showed a lot of promise.

And Mett still throws the hell out of the ball. I don't care how deficient he might be in other areas--put him on the field and let him throw, and he'll go JaMarcus Russell on some people.
