BTW...I was thinking about matchups today. Can SoCon DB’s & LB’s match up with Mercer’s WR’s size, particularly if they decide to deploy a 4 or 5-Wide BIG package & incorporate some of their ‘flex’ TE’s in those personnel groupings...If a couple of these FR (Flex) TE’s are as good as I think they are, I see 1 possible, reasonable grouping where the Bears could go 5 wide & average 6-3 / 224 with their Wides. The Falcons’ All-Everything FREAK WR, Julio Jones, is 6-3/220. Just sayin’...

* Returning Starters or ‘Regulars’ in Bold
** “Flex” is FUBeAR’s designation based upon how they have been used at Mercer and/or were used in HS, i.e., quite often split out from the OT’s by 3+ yards or more.

To, I hope, put an end to the Duncan Yo-Yo appearances of CCU Transfer WR, Stephen Peterson, on & off of Mercer’s roster, he has been assigned a number now..and he has a bio now!

Watch out for him. I have a hunch he’s going to make a difference for the Bears this year. Just reminds me so much of the Bears ‘break-out’ Star WR, David Durden (also pictured above), in this video.

BTW...you UGa and/or Ohio State Fans May recognize that QB slingin’ the ball to Peterson. Just imagine what #19 will be able to do with Robert Riddle, instead of that hack, as his QB.
