Now that's my guy! Braxton Miller, early favorite to be named the top dual threat quarterback in my 2013 Herbie Awards!

Ohio State's Braxton Miller, left, works out with quarterback guru George Whit­field, Jr., a 35-year-old Tif­fin Univer­sity grad­u­ate.

COLUMBUS ? Braxton Miller spent his winter vacation at the beach.
Yes, the Ohio State quarterback headed for the California sand to ... fix his throwing mechanics, dodge bean bags, and evade a man chasing him with a broom.
Miller said he wanted to learn from the best. So the sophomore went to work with George Whitfield, Jr. ? a 35-year-old Tiffin University graduate whose rise to become one of the nation?s top quarterback gurus is as improbable as his teaching methods are unorthodox.

From the Toledo Blade this morning. Can't wait to see his improvements.

Am I the only one who thought George Whitfield was some 75 year old white dude?

Instead he's P Diddy.

I'd seen an E:60 story or some-such on Whitfield last year before the draft when he was training Luck. SI recently had an article about him as well (in fact re-reading this leads me to believe the Toledo Blade story was largely lifted from the details here):

Reading the quarterback pass chart on footballstudyhall...Braxton only completed 14.3% of his 10-14 yard passes? Yikes.

Also interesting that he threw more 25-29 yard passes than anyone in the nation and completed 80% of them.

A link would be appreciated. I don't feel like working today. TIA.

Here you go. (Should have said in my earlier post that Brax threw a greater % of his passes for 25-29 yards than anyone in the nation---he probably didn't throw more of those passes total)

In all fairness to Braxton (if in fact the stat is accurate), I'm sure many of the incomplete passes (i.e. the 85.7%) were catch-able (but just dropped by the receiver) or intentionally "thrown away" to avoid a sack.
