You may remember Colorado quarterback Cody Hawkins from such tired sportswriter classics as "my father is the coach". The kid's angling for a starting job this year against incumbent senior Bernard Jackson. But that's not what is interesting about him.Rather, it's that he loves outgoing Florida quarterback Chris Leak.
Said Hawkins: "Chris Leak is my favorite player ever. . . . He's the exact same size I am."This tells us everything we'll ever need to know about Hawkins' playing style: death by dink and dunk (ETA 2008).
At least the kid's got opinions. Here's what he says about Alabama offensive coordinator and former Texas quarterback Major Applewhite (as told to the Rocky Mountain News' B.G. Brooks):
"one of the two sharpest offensive minds in the country."The sharpest belongs not to his father but Colorado offensive coordinator Mark Helfrich.
