Burrell was definitely the keystone to the Gade’s success this last year. Yes the Gades ran a lot and a major reason the run was so successful was because of Burrell. Between Burrell and All-American TE Michael Dunn (also going to FS) defenses couldn’t suck up in the box like they have been able to do in the past. You didn’t see MS bringing the house every play this year.
He is very accurate, other than a bit of a breakdown on his deep passes this year. A good QB coach will take care of that. He seemed soft spoken but Chudy bragged on his leadership. I wish him well.
Big question: Did they give Burrell credit for his injury year or when will he find that out?
