TEDDY BRIDGEWATER WILL BE ON GRUDEN'S QB CAMP
For the 5th consecutive year, ESPN will have their feature called "Gruden's QB Camp" where John Gruden talks to quarterbacks who are entering the NFL draft. They watch film and he critiques them and quizzes them on certain things and then they do some work on the field. It is nothing but entertainment and I love it. This year will be great for Cards fans because Teddy Bridgewater will be featured on a segment. Most of the QB Camp specials will air on Tuesdays beginning in late April.
2014 Gruden's QB Camp participants:
Quarterback School
Blake Bortles Central Florida
Tajh Boyd Clemson
Teddy Bridgewater Louisville
Derek Carr Fresno
Jimmy Garoppolo Eastern Illinois
Jordan Lynch Northern Illinois
A.J. McCarron Alabama
Johnny Manziel Texas A&M
Aaron Murray Georgia
EARL CLARK SIGNS WITH NEW YORK KNICKS
After being traded to the 76ers and then waived immediately, former Card Earl Clark has signed a 10 day contract with the New York Knicks. In 45 games with the Cavaliers this season, Clark averaged 5.2 points. Hopefully he can do well with New York and find a long-term spot there.
