Legit question. He's a track runner too.

Well, if you saw Tajh play at Phoebus, you might too.

He tore up his knee, played his senior season on that torn ACL, then ballooned to ~250 at Clemson while recovering from the surgery.

Kid runs between a 4.6-4.7 .... at 6'4" that should absolutely be considered 'dual-threat'

I thought I read that they were changing to a spread this year to suit Hunter. Last year it was more of a pro-style offense?

Yousing the internets to research the truth is rassist.

Re: Is Hunter Johnson called a ProStyle QB because he's white?

Partially, yes, because he's white. However, they also start classifying prospects very early on - HJ has just started to scratch the surface of his running ability now and I expect him to pick up on this significantly over the course of his time at Clemson. His film from early in his career certainly shows more of a pro-style QB to me than his junior year film. We do a GREAT job at teaching players to identify lanes and where holes will open. Gotta say, Deshaun Watson has vision as a runner comparable to the best players I've ever seen - he has incredible intuition as far as where and when to cut; his elite suddeness helps him there as well.

Wouldn't it depend more on what he is asked to do on the

field then the color of his skin? Once he gets to Clemson he will be asked to run the zone read and how effective he is at running the zone read will determine how often he runs zone read plays, not the color of his skin.
