"“(Rosier) is a much better passer when the pocket is bigger,…Give the skill guys the opportunity to make plays. … When the pocket is in your face it’s hard to be real accurate. So it starts with protection. It starts with a good clean pocket. And then route-running and understanding what you’re doing…I really believe he can do that.’’"

Perry and Williams both have to learn to become quarterbacks. There is a big difference between playing in high school and at the Division I level for a Power Five Program. In high school, they could rely a lot more on their athletic ability. That is still something that Perry needs to learn how to do according to Richt.

"‘You’re a pocket passer who can run…so when the pocket is there you can’t be dipping out of there. You’ve got to run this system the way it’s supposed to be run. And when it’s time to go, you’ll know.’’"

Rosier spoke to the media for the first time since Spring Practice began nearly a month ago. He is confident in his ability to play quarterback and be a team leader. He earned that respect with the late game comebacks and the touchdown record last season.
