Bess will follow Senior QB Colt Brennan out the door from Honolulu and
into the NFL. To be sure, Bess has racked up video game numbers in June
Jones’ "Run & Shoot" offense (including an eye-popping 108
catches), but historically, players from the offensive side of the ball
in the Warrior football program (including WR’s Ashley Lelie and Chad
Owens, and QB’s Nick Rolovich and Timmy Chang) have struggled mightily
making the transition to some form of a pro-style offense in the NFL.
At only 5’10,” the diminutive Bess – and Brennan, for that matter –
will have to prove that they are different football players than their
predecessors. Very good workouts by Bess may land him a “wild-card”
Draft spot anywhere from Rounds 3-5. What may help Bess in the eyes of
NFL GM’s and coaches is his solid punt-returning ability.
