Here's a couple.

Offensive tackle Paris Johnson Jr. had a very slow start on Tuesday and looked overwhelmed by the level of competition at times.

This. Give me the raw materials with the upside, not the maxed out HS Sr.

Besides, we don't need him to be Orlando Pace this year (and no one is Orlando Pace, for the record).)

I am certain there was a guy wearing 75 throwing some poor Rice DB around out in front of one of Mike Wiley's first three TDs (I think his very first) as a Buckeye in 1996. I thought his name was Orlando Pace
