There are some interesting reports circulating in reference to the role John Chiles played in the Horns' Saturday (March 22) Spring football practice session.
Supposedly, Chiles was impressive with both his passing and running ... and, at least at this juncture, he appeared to be the featured backup QB (with little activity involving the other two backup QB candidates) to Colt McCoy. On Mack's website, there is a current video of the March 22 scrimmage highlights -- including a long touchdown pass from Chiles to blue-chip WR Malcolm Williams, and a long touchdown run by Chiles.
The touchdown pass from John Chiles to Malcolm Williams is interesting to watch on the video, because theoretically (according to the Chiles critics) the play is an impossibility. As you know, Chiles is not supposed to be able to pass the football effectively.
So, if you watch the video (on Mack's website), maybe close your eyes when you get to the 1:07 part of the tape and open them after the TD pass from Chiles to Williams, so (if you wish) you can go on believing that John Chiles cannot do what he appears to do on the play.
Some folks also may wish to skip the Chiles TD run at the end of the video, because the combination of Chiles' passing plays and his touchdown run on the video could leave the impression that he is a legitimate dual-threat quarterback candidate for the Horns.
It will be interesting to see what happens this Fall.
Hook 'em.
