Freshman quarterback Brett Hundley, the guy who made UCLA football fans’ hearts go pity-pat when he chose the Bruins, went through team and individual drills for the first time on Monday.
Hundley, considered the centerpiece of the UCLA’s 2011 recruiting class, had been sidelined a month following knee surgery. There was a moment when being back sunk in.
“I got chewed out one time today and started laughing,” Hundley said. “It was like, ‘OK, I’m back.’ ”
Hundley was expected to make mistakes, having been on the sidelines. But the raw talent was obvious during 11-on-11 drills. He completed two of three passes in a brief stint with the first team.
“I was surprised to realize what I actually knew,” said Hundley, who was injured playing basketball in May and had surgery in July. “I learned from all those mental reps and from the opportunity to study a little more while I was out.”
