An Indiana guy at QB for Tampa! Connor Bazelak... 😮 

Good game for Marcelino Ball.  Forgot about him being in the NFL too.

Also, Key'shawn Johnson had some action last night.

So many IU guys now, its great!

Price made it as a returner last year, good to see him get to show his chops.

Read a review of Cooper as a late first round draft pick recently. And while they liked him they pointed out that in 2024 bunch of targets went to other receivers, especially slot guys, not him, even though in the NFL he's expected to be more of a slot guy. So the grader had those doubts.

I thought, you know that a couple of those guys not on the 2025 team, did make the NFL, right? Cross didn't but he had a connection with Rourke. And Myles Price and Ke'Shawn did make an NFL team.

@openwheel we’ll have a full recap tomorrow evening.

? Fine.

I was just commenting,  OT, after the Price mention, how dumb it was for a draft grader to dis Cooper for some excellent players sharing grabs in 2024.

@openwheel all good. Just giving you a heads up. Wasn’t annoyed.

Recap of Preseason Week 1

@thehoosierhuddle Thanks! Crazy how many players we have to follow now!

@thehoosierhuddle really well done, congratulations on the details. Looking forward to it again next week.

Excited for Sarratt. I was worried he might be too much of a 'tweener'. Not quite big or athletic enough for that 'big' receiver, and not fast enough otherwise. But he picked up right where he was in college 'I may not look wide open but throw it here, I am always open'.

Good reports from practice too, sounds like Lamar throws him the ball some, which is a good sign. Keep the main man happy!

CMC is hurt, and Kaelon Black is taking reps with the first unit right now.  

We have Fernando vs. Fisher tonight. 

@unclemark Richardson?  Don’t expect he’ll ever see the field again…
