The Sock 'Em, Bust 'Em Board Because that's our custom

Elite 11 more relevant than 40 time?

Just a question.

I concede to the points made in the previous post: There is stopwatch fast and there is football fast and, as far as I’m concerned, football fast is what matters most. The point, as you might imagine, was to show that while that it is universally accepted that White is fast, there are teammates who are faster on a stopwatch. I’d take White to win a race into the end zone, though.

So, yes, many of these statistics and superlatives we sometimes concern ourselves with are overrated. The question now, though, is what do we think of the news recruit Tajh Boyd made the Elite 11 quarterback camp? 

“I really don’t feel I have that much to prove anymore,” said Boyd, who is one of 12 quarterbacks chosen to compete. “But I feel I’m one of the top players in the nation, and I want to prove that. I want to use the whole week out there to show I belong.”

In its 10th year, the Elite 11 bills itself as the nation’s premier quarterback camp. Participants are chosen based on an evaluation process that includes film research and interviews, both in-person and by telephone. Past quarterbacks selected include Vince Young, Matt Leinart, Kyle Orton and John David Booty.
