Dan Miller On WZAM: 15 Minute Interview

Pirated from WZAM Marquette via MLive. Really outstanding 15 minute interview with Miller where he discusses the OTAs in real depth.

Highlights:

Stafford has a lot of talent but his rawness is pretty clear (yawn).

Pettigrew looks good, but more important in Miller's analysis that Pettigrew was really drafted to be an impact player along the lines of Witten/Cash/Gonzalez. While he has a slightly different skill set, Miller was pretty emphatic that Pettigrew is out there to create mismatches and in his eyes will be a disappointment if he doesn't become a significant offensive threat.

And the best, his discussion of Delmas (paraphrasing) 'the fans will love Delmas, he hits everything that moves and keeps hitting it until it stops moving'.

Miller goes on to warn that it's early, players are in shorts, etc. Another datapoint that we have a lot to be optimistic about concerning the '09 rookies. Every source has been positive on the top three and it is sounding more and more like Delmas is projecting to be a star.
