Again, I am by no means saying he is the second coming of Tommie Frazier or EC. He does exude a confidence and attitude that others will rally around....even when things might get to be tough sledding. He also seems to be able to forget the last play (good or bad) and does not make a bad play worse. He is certainly going to make mistakes. No doubt about it, but he doesn't have the yips.
Hell, my own kid is a good example of what I am talking about. Originally, the push was to turn him into a qb....simply because of athleticism (Freshman year). While he made some great plays, he also could not forget the bad ones. It would turn into five bad ones. Lol. He was just too emotional. He moved to slot, played S on D also....and was a great leader in the locker room. He just didn't have that "it" factor. The other kid did.
The other kid took over at qb the next year. Ironically, their senior year, they sat in a 4th and 12 down by 6 with under a minute left on the plus 40. The kid playing qb was heavily pressured....and threw it up to my kid just beyond the sticks. My kid went up and got it. We later scored, won the district title, won a 4 OT Playoff game the next week, then went on to play for the state title. I hate to admit it, but it's true. None of that happens if "the more athletic kid" is the one playing qb at that time.
Not a ton of kids have that "it" I brought up. All I am saying is that....my kid didn't. That kid did. I believe HH does, too. For everyone that is here that played, I am sure you know exactly what I am trying to say.
