Gruden's QB Camp returns with Luck, Griffin, & more
Last week, it was announced that Jon Gruden would be given the spotlight of being the solo analyst of ESPN's Monday Night Football as Bristol moved Ron Jaworski to the studio. With Bristol going all in with Jon Gruden as their #1 NFL analyst, Gruden's QB Camp makes its return this year with a full ten episodes and two SportsCenter Specials starring top picks Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III. The QB Camp is Gruden's best work and hopefully we start to see more of this Jon Gruden in the booth next year for Monday Night Football. Here's the entire schedule...

Those specials with Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III should be appointment viewing for any pro or college football fan. Luck has always been touted as a future hall of famer and the concrete #1 pick, but RGIII is the reigning Heisman winner and had better stats than Luck last year. Will one outshine the other with Gruden watching?
Aside from obviously seeing Luck and RGIII meet up with Chucky, it should be fascinating to see Gruden with a "system quarterback" like Case Keenum. Kellen Moore, Russell Wilson, and Brandon Weeden would be interesting to watch as well. Gruden's QB Camp is among the most compelling programs on ESPN and it's good to see the leader go all out this year with ten separate shows. The more ESPN sticks to intelligent, thoughtful, revealing programming like this and stays away from staged debates the better. Of course, I also can't wait to see who this year's Terrelle Pryor will be.
