Good size … Had an outside chance at the Heisman in 2007 and was regarded as a possible number one pick but that impression slid during the 2007 season … Dual threat … Will throw the ball away rather than take a risk … Composed in pocket … Good arm, but has an unusual overarm delivery sometimes … Stock fell after lacklustre Senior Bowl performance. Took 118 sacks in college, it can’t be all on the offensive line.
