When MarQuies Gray agreed to play quarterback for the Minnesota football team last season,, a range of fans saw him as the heart of the Minnesota football franchise. A quarterback possessing unique raw talent and a body meant for alternative positions, it seemed as if Gray displayed some considerable upside.

The big name recruit (by Rivals.com) from Indy had been ordained to be a part of the franchise in , but his attempt to play in concluded early as a result of scholastic issues.

Luckily, he was able to acquire his academics fixed up and presently he’s begun 2009 as a first season player. But, contrary to last season against the likely chance of him being cut, Gray is being used as a weapon that might potentially be likened to that of Philadelphia with Donovan McNabb getting played by Adam Weber and Michael Vick getting replaced by MarQueis Gray.

This would be an out of the ordinary arrangement in Minnesota if this was really real.

Gray’s 6′four”, 222 pound frame makes him a threat with size alone not including his speed which is insisted to make him playmaker at qb similar to that of Vick.

We saw a tiny preview of it this past week versus Syracuse as Gray lined up as a slot receiver in a Wildcat difference.

With running back Duane Bennett training to make a return to the offense and lend a hand to uplift the running-game in the recently established professional-style the Gophers possess changed to, Gray may be used all over the place to help spread the offense a little while however retaining the running game as a key part.

With Weber only in his junior year, it’s likely that Gray won’t see time as the regular starting QB for a few more years, although if he comes as advertised, Minnesota Gopher lovers could have something worth cheering for in the coming years.
