QB DJ UIAGALELEI

While I understand that DJ Uiagalelei is a quarterback, he is currently listed at 255 pounds. That is an absolute unit coming downfield. Just imagine the possibilities that you have on third down/fourth down and short.

The presence of Uiagalelei having the potential to scramble makes the rushing attack even more dangerous. This isn't to say that I want the signal-caller to rush fifteen times a day and put wear on his body. However, it is nice to see that Uiagalelei could be a threat in that regard.

There were often times last season where Jordan Travis elected to stay in the pocket to showcase his throwing abilities rather than taking what the defense gave him and utilize what makes him special (his rushing ability).

We should see Norvell design more quarterback runs for Uiagalelei in the offense to move the chains.
