-> “The first thing that sticks out when you watch UConn is how well-coached they are,” Barron said. “Very assignment oriented, everyone has a job and they do their job and don’t worry about doing someone else’s job. They communicate very well up front, their backs are big and they like to make plays.
Outside, they’ve got some transfers that are all athletic. Both the quarterbacks (Nick Evers and Joe Fagnano) are really talented. So we’ve got a lot to deal with it. They’ve really improved a lot the last couple of years since Coach Mora has been there and it’s really impressive to see. And I’m very happy for them, being a Connecticut kid.”<-

They can play him anywhere. He can cover backs, he can go out and cover wideouts, he runs to the ball well. He’s physical. I mean, I have watched him for three years and have great respect for him. I think he’s going to be a great NFL player some day because of the traits he has. The way the game is played today, in space, he has all the attributes you need to be a great player.” <-
