Four-star defensive tackle Emanuel Ruffin commits to Ohio State.
Some eyebrows were raised when Michigan offensive coordinator Al Borges recently made statements comparing Wolverines quarterback Devin Gardner to Robert Griffin III, a former Heisman Trophy winner and instant NFL sensation.
“He’s not really like anybody I have had,” Borges said. “I’ve had so many prototype drop-back passers. He isn’t like (former Auburn quarterback) Jason Campbell, who was athletic but he really wasn’t a runner. I haven’t had a lot of real runners. He’s different. He’s hard to compare to someone else. He’s more like an RG3 type of guy. He’s a little taller than RG3 but plays a lot like him.”
The comments aren't near as ridiculous when you see them in context, and it's not rare for coaches to compare their players to superstars. Still, Garnder has a vast sea of improvement to undergo until he's worthy of an on-point comparison to Griffin.
