[QUOTE="Wexahu, post: 2666487, member: 72863"] I think if he decides to try and play in the NFL, he'll go through all those pre-draft tests and he'll measure about 5'9", maybe 5'10" and not look all that impressive throwing the ball, and most scouts will be scared away. People bring up Russell Wilson and Drew Brees as short guys who have been great but I'd bet both are a good two inches taller and both have almost freakishly big hands for their size, which makes a huge difference in throwing and hanging onto the bigger NFL ball (anyone here thrown one of those compared to the college ball? It's WAY different). The running stuff is great, but running NFL QBs are not going to survive. Especially 180-190 lb guys. And I don't think he's ever going to be anything more than a very average passer at the NFL level, and he might always be below average. There have been a lot of Heisman winning QBs who couldn't make it in the NFL. He'll be another one IMO if he decides to go that route. [/QUOTE]
