A Further Glimpse of Jake Rodrigues

As fans we always have a tendency to annoit the new guy coming in as the second coming of Dan Fouts and Dennis Dixon rolled into one, but did you catch the video clip of Jake Rodrigues' performance at the Elite 11 Camp at Palo Alto?

Rodrigues didn't come in with a lot of hype, but he emerged as the leader in a camp of the best prep quarterbacks in the West.

What's most impressive is the way he handled the pressure and attention.  It will be interesting to see how he does in his senior year at Whitney High, and next spring when he arrives in Eugene.  Watch the clip all the way to the end to get a look at the young prospect in a candid moment.
