Reed is an outstanding athlete, would he benefit and consider a temp role at WR or are those days over? Seems like Aggies need another WR, Reed gets a wider perspective in his QB career, a win win.

I think playing WR at the D1 level is not something most people can just dabble in. Even talented athletes who know football.

Perhaps Weigman will…

He won't have to. Once he realizes he's the best QB on the roster.

This just reminds me how ridiculous of an athlete and football player Tanny was. He memorized the playbook in between pre-med classes

I am becoming very impressed with Marcel Reed. The young man has QB talent and is a very well spoken person.

I can think of several receivers moving to QB (Johnny did it in high school) but I can't think of any notable QB's moving to receiver. Not just A&M but in general. Anybody got any?

Not if he's qb1

Marcel is going to Evan absolute stud...he will thrive in Klein's offense with the "if it's there run" mentality
He's the next big playmaker

Am I that old? People don't know Tannehill was QB2 before and while lining up at WR? I know the nfl commentators constantly get it wrong..,

Yes, that was like last year. I remember.

Reed should be the backup QB.

Hines Ward
Julian Edelman
Anquan Boldin
Antwaan Randle-El
Randall Cobb

I'm sure there are lots of others, but those came to mind immediately.

There have been multiple option style QBs either in HS or College that have switched to receiver in College or NFL. Being option style QBs, they probably weren't "notable" in the sense you were referring to.

Chad Schroeder was a QB/WR...Austin Westlake. Hell of a WR at A&M.

As a high school quarterback, Schroeder put together an impressive resume. In 2001 as a senior, he threw for 2,534 yards and 28 touchdowns.

Schroeder got past Houston Madison and current Texas quarterback Vince Young in the semifinals before a Reggie McNeal-led Lufkin team beat Westlake in the Class 5A Division II Championship.

We've already had a QB who played WR in the NFL. According to your logic that would be impossible.

Reed will likely be QB2 this year based on the limited exposure we as fans have to him. If that is the case, not a chance they let him get snaps in another role. They may have packages designed for him, but that'd be the extent of his use. It is also very difficult to play WR well especially if a guy hasn't done it.

I am just hoping we can keep him on the roster beyond this year because I also think he could be a special player.

IF he's a future QB1, he NEEDS to be in the QB Film Room. Moving him to a receiver role, puts him in the Receiver film room and IMHO that stalls his development as a QB.

Quite a few, actually. Typically, the "scrappy, lunch pail" white NFL WRs were QBs at some point in their FB careers.

I remember Bert Emanuel QB at Rice and before that at UCLA and was a 2nd round draft pick of the Falcons and played in over 100 NFL games at WR. Look up Bert Emanuel rule that what I remember him for

Speedy Noil was 1st team all state QB


in general many WR recruits from smaller schools took snaps at some pt just due to being the best athlete on the field

We have a new offense, a new coach, and Connor is returning from injury. I bet all the QB's are focused on being the starting QB instead of a backup WR.

no one on that Madison team full of athletes could touch him peeling down the sidelines.
He was quite the prodigy in other ways also: during his redshirt year (still somewhat an unknown commodity) he'd come hangout at our off campus apt on a random weeknight (our buddy was his FB at Westlake), spend a few min on his phone, and within half hour there'd be up to a dozen knockouts showing up

If he isn't QB1 and wants playing time, he will transfer. Also might get more NIL money to transfer and be QB1 at a lesser school than be QB2 here. Have yall not been paying attention to how it works now? You make your money in college now, and NFL money is just a bonus.

I don't think anyone knows how it works. On3 certainly doesn't…

He should keep taking QB reps for when Weigman eventually gets hurt.

Long time Buffalo Bills wide receiver Andre Reed (not sure if there's any relation) was a championship quarterback in high school. He moved to receiver in college, and the rest was history.

Kordell Stewart? Didn't he dabble in WR for a bit?

True. I was at that Madison / Westlake game.

VY played both ways in the 2nd half. Free safety on D. I think he had 10 or 11 tackles in that half.
