Jake Locker
NFL Draft Scouting Report

Quarterback

Washington


College Position: Quarterback
School: Washington
Grade: Senior
Height: 6-3
Weight: 226
Birthdate: 06-15-1988
Draft Projection: Second
Overall Rank: 36
NFL Draft Position (Rank): Quarterback (4)

Draft Result

Drafted in the 2011 Draft by the Tennessee Titans in the 1st round with the #8 pick.
First shocker of the draft, Locker going to the Titans is an interesting pick to say the least. Coming from a pro-style system. Locker is a great athlete and a football guy who fills a huge need for the Titans under center. Putting him in an offense that includes Chris Johnson and Kenny Britt has to make Titan fans happy, and he has the ability to be a great player for a long time in this league.
