He's a great athlete... but having hands are something that you can't teach. Scott McCready had great hands... as did a kid that transferred from USF... Jason Bingham (probably the best hands of everyone I've played with... not including Ant Henry). I had below average hands. Both Huey and Hugh Smith had average hands. I don't care how many balls you catch a day... there is a huge difference between below average, average, and above average. Concentration is a huge part also. Limited reps make the stress meter go crazy when you get a chance to get on the field. Freshman mistakes are so common place because there are a million things going through your head before you get set on the line. When that becomes routine, the catch becomes routine. If the catch was the only thing I would've had to worry about, life would've been a box of chocolates. Until Huey gets a chance to get in a comfort zone, he will be continuously waived by teams. Look how long DRube has stuck it out with the Bucs. He's at the point now where football is feeling natural and thats when he excels. The learning curve is steep. Hopefully Huey will get one last opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
