Would appear to be KR/PR depth

Jville · May 18, 2015

Foxx is a versatile receiving prospect that started 12 games for UConn last year, getting snaps at receiver, punt returner, kick returner, and even as a wildcat style quarterback. UConn head coach Bob Diaco explained his usage there.

"It is not a Foxx package, it is the offense," Diaco said. "I guess the opponent can look at it any way they want to look at it, but if they want to look at the Foxx plan as a wildcat plan, then they would be making a mistake. Foxx can throw all of the passes, he has a strong arm, he can run our offense. He can run our offense from the gun, he can run our offense from under center."

Would appear to be returner depth for the offseason, but I'd wonder if they might be trying him at backup QB ?

Doubtful. 5-10 and 173 lbs. He's thrown 5 passes with only one completion in his college career. When he lined up at qb it was all read option.

His college coach had this to say

“I guess the opponent can look at it any way they want to look at it, but if they want to look at the Foxx plan as a wildcat plan, then they would be making a mistake.

“Foxx can throw all of the passes, he has a strong arm, he can run our offense. He can run our offense from the gun, he can run our offense from under center.”

October 8, 2014.

He only attempted 3 passes that year.

The Redskins had the smurfs, maybe the Seahawks with Baldwin, Lockett, and Foxx can be referred to as the "dwarfs". It's weird to say that since they are all still taller than me

A 5'10" quarterback could never make it in this league anyway...

That'd be the "Killer Bees". Miami did it first with Marino. It kind of makes crazy sense to have a bunch of shifty receivers to match their scat back quarterback all at their best off schedule playing playground offense.

Don't feel bad almost everyone is taller than me. So I get you.

Where the hell is Roland when you need him?!?!

It's "Dwarves" dear sir...dwarves!

Roland, you can thank me later. :beach:

Here's a link to a very short blurb about him.

"Foxx led the UConn offense with the longest run, catch and punt return of the season."
