T.J. Yates a late bloomer at quarterback

Posted Aug 23, 2009

Footwork, throwing mechanics, route progression were all aspects of the quarterback position Yates essentially had to learn from scratch at the college level. There was one part of Yates' game that UNC offensive coordinator John Shoop did not attempt to adjust. (Charlotte Observer)
