But...he may be a part of the reason why Cam looked so good after a locked out summer.

Yes, a practice squad center taught him how to be an NFL QB?

You'd probably be surprised about what an older brother could teach his younger brother with regards to professionalism and maturing at the next level.

He was a first round pick . . . by the UFL. Got a lot of upside.

Don't mean that he can't teach his bro, line adjustments and protections, His big brother is a Offense lineman, he might not have got a starting job, or made the final roster, but he has been coached by the the Packers, Saints and Ravens might have been only for a few weeks, but he still has an understanding of what to do, he might not be good enough to actually play, but whoever thought Wienke would be a good QB coach????
