IllinoisHuskerFan Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Living in Illinois I have seen him play football multiple times and I have seen him wrestle as well. Physically he is as strong and gifted as anyone on the team the second he walks thru the door. Im not even that worried about his footwork as he is a good athlete from wrestling. I think the adjustment for Tanner will be knowing and understanding the playbook and different checks at the line of scrimmage, technique and things of this nature. Once he gets adjusted to this and he goes out there and plays rather than thinking about it he will blossom. I dont think he is going to start but I would be suprised by the time conference play rolls around you dont here his name come up in discussions about playing time. Link to comment
