Even after what he considered to be the worst practice of the year, Coach Smart couldn’t help but rave about second-year linebacker Chaz Chambliss, “[He’s] everything a football coach wants. He does whatever they ask. He’s the last guy off the field every day.” In his first appearance in front of the media yesterday, we were able to see Chambliss up close. We could clearly see that he was a physical specimen, but after listening to what he had to say, it leaves you thinking that there is much more than meets the eye.
Because of his youth and the fact he wasn’t able to see the field too much as a freshman, the practice facility has been the best place for Chambliss to prove himself, and to this point it’s worked.
