"Well it's a lot of the reasons we liked Cam," Cristobal said on SportsCenter. " The size, the accuracy, the strong arm, the ability to just elevate a football team. He's poised to have a great season with the right protections, and the right scheme. Our scheme really fits him."
He also gives an Injury update on his new quarterback. Beck tore his UCL in his throwing arm in the SEC Championship game against Texas this past season but is closer than many expected with his injury.
"He's doing well," Cristobal said. "He is running really fast. He not throwing the ball yet, but he is very close to doing so. He's taking part in all of the stuff that he can do and should be throwing soon. Maybe in a couple of weeks."
This is a positive sign for the Hurricanes quarterback. Some assumed that he would not be ready until fall camp. However right as spring practice is underway, he is preparing to be a full participant for the Hurricanes.
