Sanders, Wright stand out
By John Werner

Just back from a vacation on Lake Michigan, I saw my first Baylor practice Tuesday afternoon at Floyd Casey Stadium (Yes, it was stifling hot after a week of cool lake breezes. Give me a few days to acclimate).
Two guys really stuck out as potential playmakers — former Marlin star Jeremy Sanders and freshman receiver Kendall Wright.
Sanders originally signed with Baylor before playing two seasons at quarterback for Navarro College. After playing quarterback in the Bears’ spring drills, he’s playing mostly at tailback now.
The guy looks like he’s put on 20 pounds of muscle since he played at Marlin, and he’s strong and explosive. He made several impressive runs in Tuesday’s scrimmage, dragging defenders with him.
Wright, a freshman from Pittsburg, looks ideal to play receiver for the Bears. He has a knack for finding creases in the defense and has the toughness to make catches over the middle.
I don’t think Baylor fans will have to wait long to see these two newcomers make an impact. They look ready for game action right now.

Sounds great. Glad to see these guys working out. How is the QB battle shaping up? Is Griffin looking like the man?
