Both. He wasn’t a QB, but he could have been utilized much better as an all- purpose type player. (Wildcat qb, jet sweeps, rb, HB passes, Slip screens, etc)


This I agree with. Les and company definitely didn’t know the proper way to handle him.

What? They literally tried getting him the ball every single way possible. Screens, handoffs as single back,handoff out of the i,handoff out of the gun, short passes, deep passes,swing passes.

Russel Shepard just wasn't that explosive. He dominated highschool but when it came to the sec and the nfl he wasn't that. He was literally caught from behind in a big bama game.
