Bedford is the most recent player on the Bleacher Report player countdown .... he got a lot of playing time last year after a Cronk went down .... Bedford was named the IU offensive newcomer player of the year by the team.
I remember watching his film when he signed and thinking “good player, great frame, moves well” ... but I did not see him as head and shoulders above many other lineman brought in over the years.
I find it incredible that the coaches can spot a future stud like Bedford when the film really isn’t much different then others. Cudos to coach Hillar and/or whoever found him. I hope this is a sign that our staff can both spot high end talent AND land it. The tides are turning in Bloomington.
we need a full line of Bedfords to start knocking off the PSUs, Wiskys, and Ohio States ... I think we are capable right now of taking down the Mich, MSUs, Iowa’s. Gotta have studs on the lines to play with the big boys.
