Of course, could be one of those situations where he’s nicked up but the OL is playing so well they decided not to rush him back until he’s 100%. Calling him “soft” may be a bridge too far. I’m not sure it’s possible to be soft on the OL, especially if you are a guy at the consensus 5 star level.

Colquitt was also replaced, as I recall, by Todd Helton. Who is injured shortly thereafter, but went onto a Hall of Fame baseball career.

As I recall, Peyton Manning later said that he is first snap. He walked into the huddle and said “let’s go score a touchdown“ and the center told him to STFU and call the play. The perils of being a true freshman.

Robert E. Lee once lamented that all the best generals were working as newspapermen rather than serving in the Army. It’s true of sports too. All the best coaches are in the stands and writing sports columns rather than on the sidelines. 😉

I’m not sure Wright to the NFL is as much of a foregone conclusion as suggested. This group has him 34 among running backs and an undrafted free agent. https://www.nfldraftbuzz.com/Player/Jaylen-Wright-RB-Tennessee They of course could be way off but doesn’t strike as a mortal lock to declare.
