Balloucy set to run RSL offense

According to a profile on ESPN, Mehdi Ballouchy may be "handed the keys to a team's offense" some time in his rookie season.

The rest of the profile gives a good in-depth look at Ballouchy and it fills in the gaps between his life in Morocco and playing at Santa Clara. He still has another year of schooling left, but I guess the League will be picking on the tab on his last pair of semesters. It didn't say where he was going - maybe the U?

This is the first I've heard of the concern about his work rate. With only one source writing it I'm hoping it's only a myth. Sure, he may not be big enough for some people's liking for him to survive in this type of league. But, you can put weight on easier than create the skills that we hear Mehdi has.
