The Devin Leary<\/a><\/strong> hype train is moving faster than a speeding bullet. Freddie Maggard isn\u2019t jumping off it anytime soon. <\/p>\n

Wednesday morning Freddie Maggard joined Matt Jones for the first in a series of position previews on Kentucky Sports Radio. The former UK quarterback is a Big Blue Believer in Devin Leary.<\/p>\n

\u201cDevin Leary will be the best quarterback Mark Stoops has coached at Kentucky<\/strong>,\u201d Maggard shared with the KSR listening audience. <\/p>\n

His record-breaking experience at NC State and his command of the football sets Leary apart from his predecessors. With the New Jersey native under center, Kentucky can go toe-to-toe with every opponent on its schedule. It\u2019s pretty clear that Freddie Maggard likes his new quarterback. <\/p>\n

\u201cI would take him over any quarterback in the conference,\u201d Maggard said. <\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s going to be quarterbacks that throw for more yards, more touchdowns and have more accolades based on scheme and system. As fas efficiency of what I would look for in a quarterback, I wouldn\u2019t take any other signal-caller in the conference over Devin Leary.\u201d <\/p>\n

There\u2019s plenty of Devin Leary to go around the whole Big Blue Nation. Drink it up by listening to Freddie\u2019s conversation with Matt Jones in hour No. 2 of today\u2019s podcast<\/a>. <\/p>\n

What could hold Devin Leary back<\/h2>\n

Freddie Maggard believes injuries will be the quarterback\u2019s greatest hurdle. Something else might get in his way: the scheme under Mark Stoops. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s no secret that Kentucky\u2019s head coach likes to control the clock. As Mike Leach showed us for years, that can be accomplished through the air. However, we\u2019ve learned through the early parts of training camp that Devin Leary is at his best when he\u2019s going fast.<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes when you go that no-huddle offense, it\u2019s almost like as a quarterback you don\u2019t even have time to think, so you\u2019re just playing. I feel like that\u2019s honestly when Devin\u2019s at his best,\u201d former NFL quarterback Mike Glennon shared with KSR<\/a>. \u201cHe\u2019s not standing at the line of scrimmage, overthinking things. He\u2019s just going out there playing backyard football, slinging the rock because that\u2019s what he does best.\u201d<\/p>\n

Is Mark Stoops willing to let Leary play fast at the expense of controlling time of possession to benefit the UK defense? Finding the right balance will be the key to Kentucky\u2019s success in 2023. We\u2019ll be keeping a close eye on it all fall. <\/p>\n
