That was Bench.

The rest of what Rex said:

"I really think a lot of the young man. He's a tough guy, man. I mean, some of the hits he took in the preseason was like, 'Oh, my goodness.'

"He's a tough guy. He's a winner. There's a lot of things I really like about Greg."

Notice how Rex doesn't mention a single thing regarding his ability to play the position. Nothing about his footwork or his pocket presence or his accuracy or his arm strength or his mobility. Just some lukewarm half-hearted compliments about McElroy being a winner and being able to take some tough hits. He sounds like Verne. Every time Verne called an Alabama game, he always mentioned the fact that Greg McElroy hasn't lost a game since eighth grade or that he has a shot at becoming a Rhodes scholar. He never complimented McElroy's abilities as a QB besides the SEC Championship Game against Florida.
