'13 PA WR Will Fuller (Notre Dame Signed LOI)

[TDHeysus]

I work in a sea of 'USC-types'....

everytime Adoree Jackson's name comes up in conversation, I always interrupt them and say, "....you mean Toast?"

 

[military_irish]

That's awesome but I'm just curious since this occurred seconds before the ball is snapped. Why does that not constitute as some sort of penalty? If a lineman were to reach up and tap a DL on the head they'd be called for a false start.

I'd be livid if it were to be called because it just appears to be two great athletes showing each other respect. Just asking for my own selfish knowledge.

I bet the ref saw it and just smiled and thought to himself "game on"

That would absolutely be some "ND shit" right there... call the entire play back on some weak stuff like that... lol

That's how you end up being on ESPN as a ref for the "C'mon man!" segment.

I know the VT catch was more critical...but that was my favorite Will Fuller moment (TD Catch) of all time!

These officials would have called it back

I don't know if it's just me but I'm staring to develop a dislike of Stanford that is on par to SC.

I'd say that's because they've been better than SC for the better part of a decade now....

Also I live among both fan bases and while SC fans are obnoxious has hell Stanford people are a snobby bunch that don't seem to deserve a great program.

 

[Bogtrotter07]

I love me that handshake, and the shake and bake that follows.

 

[Praytorian]

Has he signed his contract yet?

 

[CraigKrenzel]

Signed with nearly $10 million fully guaranteed. And getting some good reviews in mini-camps, from what I can gather. From the Texans' NFL site:

If first rounder Will Fuller has a sliver of space to work, he’s going to embarrass a lot of guys deep down the field. During 7-on-7, he got behind not one but two guys, adjusted to the ball in the air, turning all the way around, and made the catch for a touchdown.

Then, during team drills, he ran a quick hitch in front of a DB, then hit the gas up the field. Defenders coming from the inside that thought they had angles lost those angles in a hurry. As I said earlier this week, speed kills

Improvement is the key from one day to the next and first rounder Will Fuller is improving from rep to rep, day to day. Facing corner Richard Leonard, a cat-quick cornerback from FIU, Fuller shook the former Panther defensive back with a double move in cut that was outstanding. Later in practice during team drills, Fuller crossed the formation down the field and made a tremendous one-hand snag for a long completion and first down. One other thing was the fact that he was the first one in front of the jugs machine after practice.

Rookie wideout Will Fuller made the best catch we’ve seen him make in the days we’ve been able to observe practice. Osweiler threw one to the sideline where Fuller had the defensive back on his hip. As the ball got there, Fuller snatched it away for the first down catch. That catch...if he can make that catch repeatedly, it’s going to be really tough to stop him

 

[woolybug25]

I said it when he was drafted. Nuck and Fuller is going to be deadly with Brock throwing the pill. Holy shite their offense might be awesome this year.

 

[Irish Glory]

First time seeing the video and while its amazing, the video does cut a second after the handshake. My guess is that the handshake and the touchdown were on different plays. For example, no Carlisle before the cut and then you see him in motion afterwards.

Well, you would guess wrong then. I remember watching the play, it was our offense's opening play, so the handshake was the football version of "touching gloves". It definitely happened all on the same play.

Glad to be wrong, the skip in the video was just a little suspicious to me.

• The Texans are quietly raving about rookies Fuller (a first-round pick) and Miller (third round) because both have acclimated well in the system. Fuller has shown the speed that he was known for at Notre Dame, but he’s catching the ball much more consistently.

cant teach catching

cant teach catching

Sure you can...

It just requires hours and hours outside of practice on a jugs machine. Almost as if you treated football like a full-time job.

Wait...

They couldn't do that at ND?

 

[Irish#1]

I do not like the idea of Will the Thrill facing my Colts twice a year.

That's how the rest of the AFC South has felt about TY Hilton.

The Jugs machine spent too much time in the library reading Socrates no doubt

Should've spent more time on Aristotle. He would've understood that the Final Cause of his hands is to catch footballs.

I hope Will has a huge year, mainly because I believe it'll help NDs recruiting pitch to WRs but also because Will always seemed so genuine. Never wanting to jump in the spotlight, reserved if not bashful and the guy has all the talent in the world.

Happy that Will is acclimating well.

I think we will truly miss his downfield explosion... He was incredible at burning people

 

[Kaneyoufeelit]

That's awesome to hear. But this guy must not have watched Fuller's career at ND. Fuller didn't learn the push off from Hopkins. Fuller made the push off an art form in college.

 

[IrishBroker]

I'm down here in Houston and the word coming from coaches is he's having a very good camp.

The only concerns are his blocking and getting off the line in press. But he'll pick up how to more effectively do that as he gets more experience.

Took a huge hit last night returning a punt, but hung in there.

I loved the pick as he compliments Nuk. That's all we needed down here. I kept telling all of my buddies that he's a 50-60 catch guy who can give you that big play once in a while.


But the offense still has major issues on the Oline, and there are still a bunch of questions about Brock. So we'll see how this offense does. They were very vanilla last night, as expected. But I'd like to see Brock sling a few next week.
