After watching Kelly for 6 years, Kelly's praise of the freshman needs to be translated. This is what he said:
“[The freshman DBs] are probably, as a group, more ready to play than anybody we have on our football team . . . So, when you say impressed, I mean, I’m impressed with Okwara and Jones and Ade. Those defensive linemen are going to be very special players. There is some more development that goes on there. Tommy Kraemer is an impressive player. There is a lot to be impressed with a number of them, but if the question I’m reading into correctly is who are the guys that are close to playing, I think your eyes have to look toward the corners and safeties in particular. That group, we’ve got some players that will play as true freshmen and impact our football team positively.”
TRANSLATION:
That 5-star kid, Tommy Kraemer is the best freshmen, like everyone thought. But we really need the freshman DBs, especially the safeties, to be good, so I'm going to start building their confidence. Also, we'd really like something additional off the edge, so here's hoping one of the freshman DE/OLBs develops quickly.
