Keelon Russell Will Be The Starter

I saw it on A-Day.

His talent jumps out. He's reminiscent of a freshman Tua or Bryce Young.

He threw a pick on a hesitant throw (to be expected this early on), but his good throws were insanely good.

First of all, he's easily the most mobile of the 3. That helps. He's not like Milroe - he's evasive like Bryce Young. His release is like Bryce Young - quick and effortless. His ability to create on the move is like Bryce Young. I saw him roll out on one play, outrun some defenders, then jump into a deep ball throw down the sidelines. The coverage was air tight but the ball landed perfectly over the outside shoulder, and the 2nd string WR dropped it. It was an insane "wow" type of play that no one mentioned because it was dropped.

He has future first round talent.
If he can hit the summer workouts hard, and get accustomed to the college level, he should be poised to win the job in the fall.

We still see Ty Simpson panicking in the face of pressure. He still trips over his own linemen. He just doesn't have the command, poise, and presence you'd expect from a 5th year player.

Austin Mack just looks bad out there tbh. He's the least mobile of the 3. He throws 10 yard passes into the dirt, and he throws bad picks reminiscent of Milroe. Mack is firmly in third place at this point.

The competition is clearly Simpson vs Keelon right now, and it's up to Keelon to get as many reps as he can this summer.

We'll be best off if Keelon is the starter. TRUST.
