It hasn’t taken long for new Buccaneers head coach Bruce

Arians to start putting together his staff for the 2019 season and one of the hires will be former Cardinals offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich.Leftwich opened the year as the team’s quarterbacks coach and got promoted last season when Arizona fired Mike McCoy. Leftwich joined the Cardinals staff in Arians’ final year as the team’s head coach and will retain one of his biggest post-promotion responsibilities in Tampa.Arians said on The Rich Eisen Show Wednesday that Leftwich will call the team’s offensive plays. Arians http://www.newyorkjetsteamonline.com/jachai-polite-jersey , who called plays as head coach for the Cardinals, said he expects to have a big hand in putting together the offense, but that he’s “very comfortable” with putting the playbook in Leftwich’s hands.Arians also said during that interview that the team is going to build the “whole thing” around quarterback Jameis Winston and the calls that Winston’s asked to execute will play a role in how successful that approach turns out to be. Raiders rookie receiver Hunter Renfrow had a long and productive college career at Clemson, but early on he didn’t look like a player who could make it to the NFL.Clemson coach Dabo Swinney told NBCSportsBayArea.com that when Renfrow showed up as a walk-on, he was nowhere near ready to compete at the college level, let alone the NFL.“The thing with Hunter is Chuma Edoga Jersey , you know, he was 150 pounds. He was athletic, but he was weak,” Swinney said. “He literally, literally benched 125 pounds when he came to Clemson. He’s a three-sport athlete, he was never in the weight room http://www.newyorkjetsteamonline.com/trevon-wesco-jersey , you know he was always twitchy and fast, but never in a million years would you think he’s a football player if you just walked up. Sometimes we get blinded by how people look, we judge that book by its cover, but the game of football, if it was just about size and strength and running fast, we’d just go over to the track and sign everybody. The game of football Alexander Mattison Jersey , you still have to be a football player. That’s one of the key things in our evaluation is: Is he a football player? You can’t just look the part. You’ve got to be able to play the part. Hunter is one of those guys. We didn’t offer him a scholarship, but we certainly recruited him as a preferred walk-on because we saw some potential.”Eventually Renfrow did enough work in the weight room that he benched 225 pounds for seven reps at the Scouting Combine, and more importantly he made a major impact on the field.“Football players come in all shapes and sizes — they really do — at the end of the day you got to be able to play between the lines, and he is the epitome of that, for sure,” Swinney said. “When he puts that helmet on I don’t know what happens http://www.minnesotavikingsteamonline.com/dru-samia-jersey , he becomes Superman. It’s like Clark Kent taking his glasses off or something. He just has a gift to be able to play the game, and he’s still not anywhere close to a finished product.”Whether Renfrow has ability to keep it going in the NFL remains to be seen, but Swinney is confident in Renfrow’s track record of exceeding expectations.
