As you probably noticed in the video I posted, Trey has gained some weight (8 pounds) and looks considerably stronger this year. He’s also been very impressive in the all the gauntlet and intermediate route passing drills that the media have witnessed, catching everything thrown his way. Well, yesterday I learned something interesting that has contributed to his impressive camp showing: Quinn has been dealing with minor vision problems for a while, but doctors say his youth, hand/eye coordination, and talent were enough to overcome it until recently. Now Quinn has started wearing contacts and is seeing the ball much better, and it clearly shows. I look for Quinn, the holder of Louisiana’s prep football all-time receiving record, to be a significant contributor in this year’s deep and talented receiving corps.


Dwayne Bowe 2.0?

Contacts? Meh. He needs some Charlie Sheen Major League glasses.

How do you play for one of the top programs in the country and no one ever checked his eyes. Seems that would be a requirement of a wr, qb, and db for sure.

When an athlete has excelled at one level and then underperformed at the next level there can be a legitimate reason other than "overrated".

I remember the Saints talking about Devery having a rough couple of first years and it really not making sense for the Bluegrass Miracle hero to underperform so badly. When the Saints decided to really try and pinpoint the reason why, they determined he needed to turn his head around a half second earlier than he'd been doing. He needed that spilt second to see the ball better.

Something was up with Quinn; hope they found it.

Seems like he should just go ahead and get lasik, assuming he's a good candidate.

You don't come in and start as a true freshman without showing the coaches something.

Holy shite, all this dude needed was some contacts and he could have caught potential game sealing third down catches?

More like, plays with a Jacob Hester motor. Hard working kid. Never gives up on a play. Great white hope.

Kidding aside, I hope he becomes the SEC's most dominant middle field guy.

I say let's save him until the 3rd quarter until the defense might be dragging a little bit. Easy yards if he's fresh and the D is tired.

Ok, I'll predict it. I predict he catches 3 big 3rd down catches against Alabama this year.
