Great pickup! He has a higher ceiling than Emory Jones and Jalon Jones. He’s a better athlete than both of them and has size.
You've been way high on him for a while. I haven't looked at film but people who do comment that he's a freak athlete.
This. He’s raw but who best to develop him than Mullen. Again his ceiling his higher than either of the Jones kids.Was 6’3, 230 and ran a 4.5 at a recent combine. Had one of the highest sparq scores of any position there. Only question is his passing but he shouldn’t have to see the field for 2-3 years.
Something I like about recruiting DT fast athletic QB's is that if it doesn't work out at the QB position or they are buried on the depth chart, these guys are athletic enough to move to another position to get PT until they are ready to play QB or they can make a career move. Similar to Meyer getting Trey Burton and Jordan Reed. Cornelius Ingram and Gavin Dickey before them under previous staffs. Bubba Caldwell to a lesser extent (yes I understand everyone projected Bubba as a WR) all of those listed made a NFL roster with the exception of Dickey who played MiLB.
Reed CI and Burton were some of the best skill position athletes we’ve had.

Doesn't Burton have the most TD's game in Gator history (non-QB)? He had that 6 TD game, right?If nothing else, I’ll remember burton breaking off that 80 yard run to take the lead at knoxville in 2012 and how you could hear a pin drop right after that!
I believe so, yeah. Against Kentucky.Doesn't Burton have the most TD's game in Gator history (non-QB)? He had that 6 TD game, right?
Lordy...that's a loadWas 6’3, 230 and ran a 4.5 at a recent combine. Had one of the highest sparq scores of any position there. Only question is his passing but he shouldn’t have to see the field for 2-3 years.
Yes Toney as wellMy point exactly TG. There are at least 6-8 that played HS QB on the Gator's roster right now, including Toney.![]()

He also had a TD run vs UGA in 2010 51 yarder. Meyer's last game vs UGA. He was the leading rusher with 110 yards and 2 TD's. 2-2 passing for 26 yards and 5 receptions for 35 yards.If nothing else, I’ll remember burton breaking off that 80 yard run to take the lead at knoxville in 2012 and how you could hear a pin drop right after that!

Thank God those days are over. They urined away so much QB talent.I remember (Well, I THINK I remember) Tyler Murphy being one of the last recruits of the Meyer era. I was excited to see what they could make of him, big strong fast kid. Then they left and the morons started trooping in. Preaching to the choir I know, but watching the past two staffs regress QB's rather than develop them was so disheartening. But not quite as disheartening as watching them go to other programs and become QB's good enough to play NFL ball.

Ended career with 726 rushing yards, 976 reception yards, and 103 passing yards. 3 years of it was in Muschamps inept offense. A player this type would have been explosive in Mullen's offense.
Was he not a part of Meyers disgusting final year?
Burton and Reed on first down, then force Brantley into 3rd and 12 pretty much every drive?
Addazio was one of our worst OC's ever. I might have said worst, but I was a student when we had Lynn Amadee.
I firmly believe if we had Mullen in 09 we would have repeated, and with both him and Newton in 10 we would have threatened a threepeat.
100 on all points. Addazio was hot garbage.
Except that we were never going to have Newton in 2010.
He was going to be kicked out of school because he's a moron that doesn't "get it."
And that hasn't changed since he got to the NFL.
