What they’re saying

“We didn't see a wide receiver create more separation than Cam Wade. The speedster stacked defensive backs off the line of scrimmage at will with a quick burst and wiggle off the line of scrimmage. Wade won the majority of 1-on-1 reps we saw him take. In most cases, the defensive back was completely out of phase early within the route. The 5-foot-11, 165-pounder can continue improving his play strength, but the dynamic ability was on display.”
