Found Dameyune Craig!

He's at Auburn! The receivers' coach!

http://sports.yahoo....01197--nfl.html

Blake, who made most of his bones with the Cincinnati Bengals and New Orleans Saints but played for seven different NFL teams from 1992 through 2005, was one of two people throwing to receivers on the Auburn campus (receivers coach Dameyune Craig was the other), and one of the receivers was Blake's son, Emory.

Currently NFLDraftScout.com's 44th-ranked receiver, the 6-foot-1, 189-pound Blake will likely see an NFL field as a camp invite -- perhaps with the Carolina Panthers. In 2010, he was a favorite target of Cam Newton's, catching 32 passes for 526 yards and eight touchdowns.

I wonder if Cam will lobby for Emory.

Craig just moved over from FSU. He's a heck of a recruiter, and that seems to be the reason Auburn was prepared to give him a hefty raise and promotion. Coaching wise, I never saw miracles.

Still, he's had no real influence on Blake whatsoever if that's the angle you're looking for.

He didn't get that much of a raise. I know your FSU boards were saying Auburn is paying him $1 million, but that ain't even close to true. I've heard its more like between $400-500k,

But (1) he did get a "promotion" (he is co-offensive coordinator), (2) he got to go home to "mama", and (3) he got to work with Rodney Garner again (who was a coach at AU when Dameyune was playing there and who he is very close to).

Dameyune is the 3rd best QB Auburn has ever had... just behind 2 Heisman Trophy winners.

Blake would make any team (and if its the Panthers, I'd be thrilled) a great Welker-like slot receiver, great hands, runs precise patterns, isn't slow (but is no speed demon, granted), and football-smart from a football-family.

    • As far as elite/elevate talent QB’s It’s Allen Mahomes Jackson and Burrow that’s it.  Then we have tiers and those can be debated all day Dak is a good QB but I know this board would want him out of Charlotte if he was the QB here. 2 playoff wins in 10 years. Justin Herbert no playoff wins. Threw 4 interceptions in last years playoff game. 23 TD passes last year. 20 the year below and 25 the year before that. This board loves stats without context and these stats aren’t saying they’re much above complimentary  Kyler Murray isn’t good. I’m not sure how he made this list.  Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence both benefiting from some real good offensive coaches right now. They’re both complimentary pieces until proven otherwise  I like Jordan Love. Always have. I wanted to draft him but he isn’t a superstar.  CJ Stroud hasn’t been much better than Bryce after his rookie season. After that Bears game year 2 his numbers very similar to Bryce I will say I think Drake Maye is well on his way to becoming the next top tier QB if I had to pick one from this entire list. I’d also say Baker Mayfield is a damn good QB and I’d take him over most of those guys not in the elite category  Now if you want to debate tools and which QB’s possess tools to put them in higher tiers that’s a completely different discussion. Most QB’s on your main list all have those physical tools that will keep you thinking he’ll become the next top tier QB. They’ll sprinkle in a “wow” play or two a game. Bryce will never look that way. Young’s game at its peak will physically always look different and I think that’s where most people struggle when it comes to seeing how Young’s can be successful in the league  All QB’s need a team around them. I think the Bills are failing Josh Allen much like the Panthers did Cam. Beane and McDermott using same blueprint with Bills team. Josh Allen hasn’t had much in terms of WR’s and it’s ultimately costing them when it matters the most
