Wadley is the next Canzeri

[nu2u]

with a few moves to boot. Perfect compliment to Daniels when JC leaves IMO

His quickness and elusiveness reminds me a bit of Freddie Russell, AW just needs to hang in there, keep improving and continue to grip the pigskin. That opportunity will open up down the road.

In the meantime, stay healthy Jordan Canzeri.

Canzeri reminds me of Freddie Russell, I agree Wadley could be pretty good.

Wadley needs to gain about 15 lbs. of muscle or he will not be running between the tackles long.

I thought Mitchell reminded me of the next Canzeri. Thought he looked pretty good and bigger than I remember.

 

[Kurt Warner]

I was hoping to see more speed out of Mitchell on that one run.

I agree, he could use a bit more weight. I just want to see what he can do in an entire game. His explosiveness is for real, and he has great vision.

Agreed, expected him to take that to the house.

 

[ichawk24]

One of the knocks on him is that he can't hit the weight targets that Doyle wants.

 

[rainydayhawk]

Same here. I was impressed by his burst through the hole, though.

Nice to see Wadley get the TD. He definitely could be a special player.

I still can't believe how small Wadley's legs are for a D1 running back. Another year in the weight room will do him a lot of good.

 

[J_Heater]

Best thing I liked about Wadley's TD was the first person to go out on the field to congratulate him was Derrick Mitchel

 

[larrygreenwallswildride]

He's a bit quicker than Canzeri.
Could be a big time player next year.

 

[millhawk]

Wadley has a knack for finding the soft spot on the defense. Since Parker is buried on the depth chart, I would love to see them sneak Wadley in there for the jet sweep.

I think it's probably more than a bit, think he's all around faster. Definitely no where near as strong yet tho.

I think Wadley has a lot of talent. He could be a great player for us. Go Hawks!

 

[cw_hawk]

Agreed, expected him to take that to the house.

I could be completely wrong here.

But IIRC, Mitchell cut it back right w/ the ball in his left-arm and appeared to be more concerned w/ the defender behind him to his left coming up and creating a fumble. If so, that's correctable, and maybe we'll see him shift gears.

 

[Ronman]

Wadley looks like the real deal to me. Think he has a bright future, assumeing he stays out of the Ferentz doghouse due to his fumbles.

Speaking of Parker....he seems to just have fallen off the face of the earth. Is he hurt or just dropped in the depth chart. Last year, he seemed to be everywhere.

Some of that is genetics. . And if so, no weight room stuff will do much anyway.

 

[HawkeyeDenny]

Mitchell is next star...

 

[jimbob22]

Mitchell is next star...

Agreed. Mitchell will be starting in not too many more weeks.

 

[pdjohnson45]

Mitchell kind of reminded me of Adam Robinson. Not a lot of speed not a lot of wiggle, but hits the hole and gets the job done. Small sample size though

 

[cidsports]

I don't see the comparison, quite frankly. Too soon to compare, since how many passes has Wadley been involved with at Iowa?

 

[LuteHawk]

Wadley was diagnosed with fumbleitis at the Iowa University
Hospital in Iowa City. He is scheduled for a Velcro-transplant
on his hands next Monday. The surgery will be done at the
University Hospital. Coach Ferentz hopes the surgery will
be successful and that Wadley can return in 2 to 3 weeks
The surgery will be performed by Dr. Seymour Yards.
