CBSSports: 'JJM hits the ground running at rookie camp'

He's just a baby in years, but you can tell he's been dealing with the press for a while. Big program, big games - have given him more savvy than a lot of kids his age.

Yep, he's just natural. Genuine. Brought up well. I mentioned this, but the NFL lights won't bother him. Give him some time to figure things out and his talent will ooze through onto the field. 

IMO, this is the first kid we've had at QB that will be money in stressful situations. Consistently. He likes competing. He's got a great athlete's easy demeanor. I know to some he seems developmental and has risk for bust. I get that if you haven't followed him closely his whole career. I'm a Michigan fan and I was born and raised in Michigan. All boys growing up in Michigan love the Wolverines. Its something you follow as an adult whether you went there or not, which I didn't. JJM is the first 5 star high school QB I remember Michigan ever recruiting. He was ranked top 25 OVERALL for all players the year he came out of H.S. I've followed his whole career unlike any other player, its not usually my thing. Some dudes are just chill when the heat is on, that's this guy. But he's also very physically talented.

Just sayin': this kid has the 'it' factor Viking's fans have been waiting for.

I remember the Mythbusters testing the saying" hitting the ground running".  Turns out it completely scrambles your stride, making you start over and ending up slower than from a standing start  :cool:

lol, I loved Mythbusters. Great show. 

Obviously its rookie camp and all the media is reporting their team's rookies as amazing, its just par for the course. Every rookie has a bunch to learn, regardless of where they were or weren't drafted.
