Ideal day for a railbird. Sunny and 70 degrees, blue skies

My notes:

-First play I saw was a nice sideline throw from Bear to CJ Williams who made a nice catch and got upfield for YAC
-Caden High #14 isn't a very big guy but extremely quick and shifty. Need to get him in space
-Luck went nuts when Charlie "Chuck" Mirer threw a nice ball across the middle for a TD
-Interesting Luck anecdote where Sedrick Irvin ran for a long TD and was celebrating, Niki Prongos ran all the way down to celebrate with him, though Sedrick never saw him. Luck adamantly yelled over to Sedrick to go dap up his teammate who ran down to celebrate with him.
-QB Battle -- Both played pretty well. They're just different, Bear seems like more of a fiery competitor while EB is more reserved. Bear improvises really well, getting to check downs and scrambling when the play breaks down. Very unique body type for a QB. Thick Legs, almost bold legged. Body comp would be Baker Mayfield

-Word around is that these practices have been far more physical than a typical Spring Ball
-Stewart Mandel was there to interview Luck. He was Railbirding with Jamie Z and talking with Doyle a lot
-Handful of recruits were at practice it looked like
-Prongos stayed after practice to do some work on his own

-Reich led a "3rd down" drill that was very spirited
-Overall Id say the offense outplayed the defense in the practice .. maybe Ben would disagree but that was my POV
-Luck almost seems like more of a coach than a GM. Hes out on the field in sweat pants and a rolled up short sleeve shirt very involved in the practice. Looks like he could really still play. Scotty Edwards said he's in all the position meetings and very involved.
