Per a former player who posts on another message board:
First off let me say I picked the wrong day to go [to a spring practice]. Should've gone during a scrimmage. But whatever.
I said it last year and I'll say it again – 46 is going to kill someone. He's learning. Last year he was all over the field but out of position a lot. He relied on his speed to make plays and get him back into position after a misstep – like all great HS athletes can do at THAT level. Well folks, them days is over.
He passed up so many kill shots it was silly. He's learned that if a TE is running a deep drag over the middle, instead of running towards him to initiate contact and risk over pursuing the play, to just wait. There will be a TE or wr running a middle crossing route this year that will have a brush with death. Write it down, in stone, hermetically seal it. 46 will go megaton thermonuclear on somebody. It's probably going to cost him a game when he does it, but you watch – alligator arms will start showing up on crossing routes. I couldn't take my eyes off the kid.
He's DJ talented. Different skill sets than DJ, but just as much talent – and it's starting to seriously click for him. The game is slowing down. Last year he was always in a mad rush to get somewhere. This year, no mad rush because... he's already there. Phenomenal potential. Some poor WR is going to order coffee and 46 will serve it to him decapitated.
