Q&A with DICK VERMEIL
|
 Q: Your impressions on your last chance to look at those two quarterbacks you brought in here?
DICK VERMEIL: “I’ll go back in and talk to my coaches about them, but they’re two competitive kids. One’s drafted and the other’s not. We’ll have to decide whether we want to bring an extra quarterback to training camp. I don’t know if we’ll do that or not right now. So, we’ll just wait and condense all our thoughts as we go back.” Story |

He runs a 4.4 40. He can boast of a 42-inch vertical jump.
He's tall (6-foot-3) and has ideal size (212 pounds). Story |

 Q: Your first impressions of the rookies?
DICK VERMEIL: “I think they had fun. It was only an hour and 15 minutes (practice). When you have to tell them to back off the intensity you know they’re having fun. They get excited and the tempo gets going faster than you’d like it to, so you have to slow them down. Overall, they did a good job.”
