Ramon Richards on Keondre Wudtee: The best thing about him in 7 on 7 [summer workouts] was when the clock goes off, he doesn’t just throw it. He’ll hold onto it or run it. That made me gain trust in him as a young quarterback. With the way he is looking right now, when the time comes for him to play, I wouldn’t be worried.” [ESPN]
