 Nebraska commit Johnny Stanton working on passing skills at Elite 11
FYI....
"It's very fun. It's cool to be able to compete with these guys and I'm happy to be out here," Stanton said. "It's a lot of work. People think you get tired out here [on the field] but you don't even know how taxing it is in the meeting rooms. You're always working, you always have to be on your game and ready with an answer -- if not coach [Trent] Dilfer will get on you. We're ready for that and luckily he's been very happy with us so far and hasn't gotten on any of us. That just keeps the pressure on though because he's ready to push us to the next level.
"I think all of us have done really well so far and it's a tough competition."
The 6-foot-2, 225-pounder looks like a linebacker and has earned the nickname "Johnny Tebow" due to his stocky build and somewhat elongated throwing motion. As someone who won a CIF championship last year using his legs to keep a play alive as much as his arm, he's improved noticeably as a passer and kept pace with other highly ranked quarterbacks without any issue. At the same time, the Elite 11 offers the opportunity to throw the ball around hundreds of times a day and the affable Californian is prepared to deal with wear and tear on his arm the best way he can in order to get the reps he needs to improve.
Given his progress at the Elite 11, perhaps it's the Nebraska offense that will have to keep up with Stanton's progression as a passer first.
Much, much more of what is a really good article on Stanton here:

If he wins two national titles like Tebow he can have the longest throwing motion in the country!

No doubt, leadership and character like Tebow would be awesome as well.

I would love if he played like Tebow, but that would no doubt mean numerous references to Tebow and comparisons of Stanton's and Tebow's stats/plays. I don't want Tebow to infiltrate Husker football, I have to hear about him enough as it is because of ESPN's continued love affair with him.

This isnt a rip on the previous poster, but tebow only won 1 natl title, at least as starting qb, the national perception of tebow is that he is a two time qb champion. actually he was 2nd string to a very good player who started ahead of him, i think his name was chris leak, and he had a nice game as starting qb. tebow did play some as a freshman, but it was far from his team. All that said, I like tebow and hope he succeeds
I hope even more for mr stanton, long delivery or not, he is a physical beast, and he hasnt even started his sr year yet. wait til he gets on a better training table and better trainers..... I just hope his head can keep up with his body, and our expectations.

here at nebraska it would be comparing him to Frazier. I just would not listen to espn if they compare him to tebow. but I get the point, since tebow was so recent. but Huskerland would not and cannot accept that. Only Frazier

He is Johnny Stanton not Tim Tebow....with that being said I'd take two national titles and a Heisman Trophy

Agree on both accounts. Forget about any mechanical issues, everyone just raves about his ability to make plays and lead a team. Reminds me of what people started saying about Frost towards the end of his first year here as the starter.

If they are comparing him to Tebow, then that would mean he is accomplishing what Tebow had accomplished, so I'm all for it. If he starts getting compared to Harrison Beck, then I'd have a problem or Tyler Gabbert, then I'd have a problem.

Good point. Chris Leak was the QB of that 2006 Florida team. Tebow had about the same role on that team as he will with the Jets. A backup QB with a specialized package of plays.

Sounds like some of us get a little sensitive about things that are posted about our team and QBs. 
The only thing worse than having nothing to say is saying it.

As I looked at his video for the 7 on 7, I didn't get the perception he had a long throwing motion or of a robotic nature to his delivery to which the narrator was referring . But, they only showed a few plays, which might have been JS's best plays, I guess.

Red Reign: just curious, Do you think JS's ranking might go up because of his performance at this elite 11?

No sensitivity here... I just thought it was a creative little jab by the journalist. It's cute. If you had been paying attention, I've said things similar to it about our offense the past two seasons.
