The App State Experiment 2.0, Pressley Moved To WR

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

 

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.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years.

      I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
