Alabama quarterback David Cornwell is a legit contender for the starting gig for the Crimson Tide in the fall. And according to quarterback guru Terry Shea, watching the QB throw reminds him of former Heisman winner and first-round pick Sam Bradford, via AL.com:

"He's got the same accuracy as Sam Bradford," Shea said of Cornwell. "I thought Sam Bradford threw a very catchable ball coming out of Oklahoma. David throws a very catchable ball and has a tight spiral probably a bit tighter than Sam Bradford. They are very similar in a lot of ways."
Bradford threw for over 8,000 yards over three years, completing 67 percent of his passes.
Cornwell, Cooper Bateman and possibly Blake Barnett are expected to go head-to-head in the competition for the starting spot. He's had plenty of time to learn the offense under Lane Kiffin after red-shirting last season.
