Auburn Tigers head Hugh Freeze believes his sophomore center Connor Lew has NFL-type DNA
No matter what level of football you operate at - it always pays to build foundation stones in the trenches first.head coach Hugh Freeze is building himself an offensive line he believes is rugged, flexible and deep enough to get them through a grueling season. One key component is center Connor Lew, the pivot who played snaps as a freshman, and now projects to be a team leader as a sophomore.
Identifying the key character traits which can propel a college prospect all the way to the NFL is far from being an exact science, but Lew has vital leadership skills which should prove invaluable later along the line. "Percy, you can't get enough tackle bodies in this league, and it allows us the freedom to move D-Wade inside where I think he's going to play at the next level and be a more natural fit. It's fun to be around Percy. He's got one of the best senses of humor. He's from a down-home, country place like me," said Freeze.
