Joe is impressed. Others collecting checks from Team Glazer are, too.
There was concern by those outside One Buc Palace when the Bucs made Notre Dame cornerback Benjamin Morrison their second-round pick in April. Injuries have plagued Morrison and his final college season was cut short by hip surgery.
However, Morrison was on the field during rookie minicamp. And as of this morning, it appears he’s shaken off a ton of rust.
Morrison looks quick and Joe saw his top-shelf acceleration. Morrison had no issue keeping up with first-round pick Emeka Egbuka down the field. And Joe thinks Egbuka is a wonderful combination of speed and power, a guy that practices hard.
Todd Bowles was positive about Morrison after practice. “He’s been moving very good and we’re pleased with him right now,” Bowles said.
Joe thinks anything Morrison is doing now is a bonus.
Initially, Joe thought the Bucs might hold Morrison out until training camp. Nope. He’s clearly full-go.
