He didn’t look from that as if he had filled out in a manner to become a true, blocking TE. No doubt he can help us in the WR rotation, but if he fails to be an everydown TE we still have to solve that problem.

#64 was snapping. Not sure if it was CH. But getting some reps at OC is a good idea to promote versatility which would help his NFL stock.

Love this. Loving the fact that JM is keeping distractions away from the team's focus just as much.

Edwards? Good to hear he's in the mix.

References to injured WRs....feels like last year again. Any concern for the season?

Not sure I’m losing any sleep over it. They tweeted this earlier today and it seemed to become baked in their thinking (unless they had eyes on something that occurred today?)

Now contrast with their (well same board, different author) write up on the UMass spring practice. QB position/ pass game seems to have a ways to go.

There was a separate thread started by @Palatine that seemingly disappeared today. Not sure what happened to it.

Yeah, I looked around for a thread with this but didn't see one.

If we can build on last year’s success it will be a huge statement we are back. Should be a fun season. Can’t wait.

-> … Cale Millen did not participate in quarterback drills Saturday, instead working out with the defensive backs.<-

->"We moved Cale (Millen) before spring ball,” UConn coach Jim Mora said. “He is a 6-3, 210-pound player who is one of the more athletic and faster guys on our team (Millen) and I had a talk about where he can help us the most,” Mora said. “I think he can do some things for us on defense, certainly on special teams, and I think he can do things on offense as well. We are just giving him the spring to work on defense.” <-

->“Whether that is as a wild cat quarterback, a slot receiver,” Mora said. “He is too big, fast and athletic not to find a place to play. He can do a lot of things.”

While Millen has not played defense since before high school, he has had experience on special teams dating back to his time at Northern Arizona.

"I think they see my athleticism, they see the flashes and they are just trying to give me a chance to play," Millen said. "It is a lot of different movements and stuff that I am getting used to. But it has been really fun, I like being part of the defensive backs." <-
