Welcome to spring hype season, my friends.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year. Bad plays don’t have consequences. Great plays are broken down with a microscope. And almost nothing worthwhile is viewable by the media or fans.
That doesn’t mean this time of year is meaningless, though. Depth charts are (kinda) revealed. Breakout performers emerge. Comments from players and coaches can give us a glimpse into what’s really happening at practice.
It’s early, but there’s no doubt one player in particular has stolen the show at spring practice. He goes by the name “Mookie” and he was the top rated athlete in the country in the 2020 class.
