Hope springs eternal and never quite more so than in spring ball. This is when fans can get their first glimpse at their team and begin wildly talking themselves into a myriad of different hypotheticals.
“Is Brandon Peters the next Philip Rivers?”
“Luiji Vilain is looking a little freakish on the edge!”
“Could Ben Hall be RB2?!”
I am guilty of it myself, but damnit, I am not selling my Peyton O’Leary stock! Optimism is perhaps never higher amongst a fan base than during the spring, and the same is true for the slightly rebuilding defending national champions.
