When MarQuies Gray opted to play quarterback for the Minnesota football team last season,, a amount of people saw him as the heart of the Gophers franchise. A quarterback with distinct raw abilities and a frame meant for different positions, it appeared as if Gray had a handful of considerable potential.
The star prospect (by Rivals) out of Indy appeared fated to be a member of the team last year,, although his attempt to join in '08 ended prematurely as a outcome of academic concerns.
Luckily, he was able to acquire his academics fixed up and presently he's begun 2009 as a rookie. But, contrary to latest season facing the probable nature of him being cut, Gray is being utilized as an asset that could potentially be likened to that of the NFL's Eagles with Donovan McNabb getting played by Adam Weber and Michael Vick being played with MarQueis Gray.
This would be an attention-grabbing deal in Minnesota if this was essentially correct.
Gray's 6'4", 222 pound frame makes him a threat with size alone not including his speed which is insisted to make him playmaker at quarterback similar to that of Vick.
We saw a little preview of it this former week vs Syracuse as Gray lined up as a slot receiver in a Wildcat disparity.
With running back Duane Bennett attempting to make a return to the offense and lend a hand to uplift the running-game in the recently established professional-style the Gophers possess changed to, Gray might be used all over the place to help spread the offense a little while then again retaining the running game as a key aspect.
With Weber only in his junior season, it's likely that Gray won't see time as the regular starting QB for a few further years, although if he turns out to be as advertised, Minnesota Gopher enthusiasts might have something worth rooting for in the coming seasons.
