Here's the stuff I found on Rigsbee the other day and posted in the tryout invitations thread:

Jordan Rigsbee from Cal:  (Ron will secretly be rooting for him one has to think!)

In 2014, Rigsbee moved again, this time to the right side of the offensive line where he played tackle. That year he was part of an offense, led by Goff, that broke school records for total offense per game, passing yards, and passing touchdowns. The next season, Rigsbee found himself in his fourth different starting spot, making 13 starts at right guard. The offense again set single-season school records for total offense, passing yards, and passing scores.

On an offensive line that deservedly took its fair share of criticism last season, Rigsbee was the team’s most consistent blocker. He had his issues with pass blocking at times, but he was a very strong run blocker, leading the way for an offense that totaled 152.8 rush yards per game and 4.5 yards per carry, both the most by the Bears since Rigsbee’s freshman season in 2012. Rigsbee experienced his most success as a pulling guard on an outside run, or as a lead blocker on screen passes. His most powerful block came on a running back screen, creating room for Tre Watson to go 45 yards to the endzone.

More footage. #73 Good in run game (note the FB role in goal line offense, and the nastiness at about the 1:40 mark. Still, in pass protection, he is terrible--even at G.
