The App State Experiment 2.0, Pressley Moved To WR

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Well this sounds awfully familiar... 'Former App State Quarterback Moved To Wide Receiver'

 

According to Bill Voth from the Black and Blue Review, De'Andre Pressley has been moved from cornerback to wide receiver. 

 

Pressley played his college ball at Appalachian State and in 2010 replaced Armanti Edwards as the quarterback of the Mountaineers.

 

Pressley will be competing with Tiquan Underwood, Tavarres King, Marvin McNutt, Brenton Bersin, Toney Clemons, and Philly Brown for one of the three open roster spots at wide receiver.

 

At 5'10", 190 lbs: if Pressley were to some how make the squad, he would most likely be backing up slot receiver Jason Avant.

Pressley is built much more like an NFL athlete than AE was.

I remember Gettleman mentioning his potential in the same breath as McNutt, King, and Berson. I believe in reference to why we didn't target another WR.

Interesting they also said there were no other position changes, so perhaps this happened much earlier.

EDIT: No changes aside from Godfrey.

He's not exactly a well-known player, it could have easily slipped his mind when he was asked the question.

 

Voth is one of the best when it comes to reporting, I doubt he would throw this out there if it wasn't legit.

I just want to see all of the App State fans support Pressley as much as they supported A.E.

 

Now's your chance, go ahead and pre-order that De'Andre Pressley jersey.

Some differences between AE and Presley:

 

Presley actually spent a year playing WR when Travares Cadet (Saints RB) beat him out for backup duty to AE, so he has at least some experience at the postion

 

Presley has more straight-line speed than AE had and as mentioned aboved is definitely bigger than AE is

 

Presley also spent half his Sr. year playing DB/KR/WR

 

i'd like to see it work out for him

I also heard it during his post-draft presser but I was wondering who that was. Either DG knows what he is doing or he is trolling us big time.

Yeah, not gonna happen. Presley isn't as beloved by App St. fans as AE was. at time, it was a love/hate relationship

 

hell of an athlete at the QB position who could run the spread option, but couldn't hit the broad side of a barn at times.

 

he honestly should've been made either a WR or DB from the get go

Like someone mentioned above his body is much better suited for the NFL than A.E.'s was.

Wasn't insinuating it was a mistake, just wondering if they've viewed him as a WR prior to now.
