Draft Result

Drafted in the 2010 Draft by the Carolina Panthers in the 3rd round with the #25 pick.
The draft's best wildcat quarterback has playmaking ability and has embraced the opportunity to move to a wide receiver.

Strengths

  • The star of App State's victory over Michigan is actually a pretty exciting wildcat prospect.
  • Great athlete - Excellent quickness and agility - a playmaker
  • Throws well on the run and is dangerous out of the pocket
  • Underrated passer
  • Well worth a late round flyer as a wildcat/returner/developmental QB
 

Weaknesses

  • Awkward throwing motion.  More flicks it than throws it. 
  • Undersized for a quarterback
  • Ran a relatively simple offense
  • A wildcat only type
