If everything works out, we haven't had a QB with as much athleticism since Stephan Starring from 1980-83. I sat in Arkansas State's stadium in 1980 and watched Stephan run for 234 yards against the Indians (an acceptable name back then). Yeah, I'm an old fart and go way back.
From looking at Daniel's video, Stephan had more speed but both can run or could run the ball well. Daniel can probably pass the ball better than Stephan could. Of course, we ran the veer option a lot back then and, when Stephan dropped back after faking running the veer, a lot of times the WR was wide open.

Technically, we experimented with the veer, but never actually installed it...You can't run the veer correctly out of the I, the dive angles and the pitch relationships are all wrong...We did have some options and some play action passes, but no veer...
Sams is fast, but he's not in Starring's league when it comes to foot speed...Still, it'll be fun to see what he can do. He'll be a faster version of Derrick Fourroux. If he can win as frequently as Fourroux, he'll be " special"
