Offense Preview+Key Players
QB #6 Rashaad Thomas, SR, 98 ovr.
SB #35 Joe Stewart, SRr, 88 ovr
RT #66 Ryan Barnes, SRr, 87 ovr
Thomas finally has the opportunity to lead the offense. Thomas is a large, fast QB built like a full-back. He'll gain tough yards while breaking long runs on occasion. He has a large task improving on Bullock's recent successes. Stewart has been a starter for many games and looks to add a capstone season to an already stellar career.
