							| 3C: 6.80 | 20Sh: 4.28 | 60Sh: DNP | Pro 
							Day (Brandt) - 
							Luck had an outstanding workout. He threw very, very 
							well despite heavy, blowing winds. He throws a real 
							tight spiral, which allows the ball to cut through 
							the wind. He has 10-inch hands, which are not overly 
							big but are above average. 
							
							
							
							
							Pro 
							Day (Gollin) - 
							
							
							
							Watched it on NFLN. No surprises. Made every throw. 
							You can't gauge football IQ from a Pro Day workolut. 
							Wiz was at the Stanford Pro Day. 
							
							Pro Football Draft Guide - 
							There’s no such thing as a can’t miss QB but Luck 
							has a better chance to turn into an All Pro than any 
							prospect in the past decade 
							
							
							PFW Scout's Candid Comment: 
							"Luck is not special. He's missing something, and 
							it's hard to put your finger on it exactly - I've 
							talked to other GM's around the league and there is 
							no one out there who thinks this guy is (Peyton) 
							Manning or (John) Elway. A winner, yes. A 
							game-changer no..." 
							
							
							From nfl.com - 
							If RG III hadn’t hit the scene, Luck likely would 
							have been considered one of the most sure-thing 
							prospects in the past decade. Prototypical pro-style 
							quarterback who can make all the line calls, 
							formation shifts, pass drops, and throws necessary 
							to be successful at the next level. Will likely be 
							the top pick overall and start immediately/ 
							possesses the intangibles to be a franchise stalwart 
							for years to come. 
							Intangibles set him apart…has all the traits of a 
							franchise quarterback. Tough, durable and willing to 
							step into a throw under pressure. Has a deliberate 
							set-up with no wasted motion /can play from many 
							different looks…learned under Jim Harbaugh and David 
							Shaw. Has the size to take a hit, and the athletic 
							ability to make plays happen with his feet. On the 
							move, he makes his second and third reads with ease. 
							Very compact and quick release…can fire it out to 
							the flats with ease off one-step drops. Makes fewer 
							and fewer mistakes with each succeeding year….rarely 
							forces a ball into tight coverage. Clean off the 
							field, and rarely makes a mistake on it.
							 One would be 
							hard-pressed to find negatives to Luck's game. No 
							glaring weaknesses in his play…not the athlete that 
							RG3 is, but that is simply not his game. There were 
							times when Luck second-guessed passes and didn't see 
							a breaking corner coming from another zone, but 
							generally he’ll  identify 
							and improve on this weaknesses 
							
							
							ESPN (Scouts, Inc.) - 
							Better than average mental makeup. Certainly in the 
							upper echelon of college quarterbacks. Tough both 
							mentally and physically. Shoulders a lot of 
							responsibility conducting a pro-style offense. A 
							natural when it comes to checking off the safety. 
							Good at going through progression reads. Protects 
							the football and limits mental errors. Will hang in 
							the pocket and make throws with defenders in his 
							face. Trusts his arm too much. Has a bit of FB 
							mentality. Must learn the value of sliding and 
							protecting his body. |  
							| 
							Better than average accuracy. 
							Excellent touch. Knows how to change velocities 
							/throws a very 'catchable' ball. Can drop the ball 
							in-between defenders and make all the necessary 
							throws accurately (has vastly improved his ball 
							placement since 2009 - 2010 season). 
							Inconsistent with his 
							footwork at times. Gets lazy going from one read to 
							the next and will throw off-balance too often. But 
							makes impressive and accurate throws falling away or 
							with defenders all over him. Could improve deep ball 
							accuracy. Sometimes floats and aims throws. |  
							| 
							Upper-echelon arm strength. Gets very good zip on 
							deep outs and can fit the ball into tight spots 
							beyond 15 yards.. Good overall mechanics and a 
							smooth, compact and relatively quick release. Comes 
							over the top most of the time but can also change 
							release points. Will pat the ball before delivering 
							it.  |  
							| 
							Other QB prospects are faster and more dangerous but 
							few have better pocket presence. Does not abort the 
							pocket when unnecessary. Consistently can sidestep 
							or step up to avoid the rush, and will reset within 
							the pocket rather than taking off prematurely. But 
							can extend plays outside of the pocket and keeps 
							eyes downfield. Knows when to tuck the ball and run. 
							Good speed for his size and vision and 
							competitiveness as a runner.  |  |

							Pro 
							Day - 
							
							The workout was outstanding. I’m not sure whether he 
							or Andrew Luck should be the No. 1 overall draft 
							pick. Of the 51 passes that he threw, just two 
							weren’t catchable. His arm strength is very, very 
							good; he threw the ball with ease 60 yards down the 
							field. His anticipation was very good; he was able 
							to hit receivers coming across the field.Griffin has 
							excellent feet, and he’s equally good going to his 
							right or his left. Many players are better off going 
							one way or the other, but he was equally impressive 
							both ways.There’s no question in my mind, after 
							seeing him work out today, that he’s going to be a 
							very, very good NFL quarterback in the future. He’s 
							got everything you need in a passing arm, and he’s 
							got speed and quickness of feet. I talked to a 
							linebackers coach after the workout, and he said he 
							hopes he doesn’t have to play against Griffin more 
							than once every three or four years. 
							
							
							
							Pro Football Draft Guide -
							
							
							
							Like Cam Newton a year ago, Griffin’s athleticism 
							overshadows the strides he’s made as a passer. That 
							athleticism will allow him to survive until he fully 
							grasps and NFL offense. 
							
							
							From nfl.com - 
							Some say RG3 is not only the most physically gifted 
							quarterback in the 2012 draft, but also the most 
							talented player…overall. Intangibles are making many 
							general managers swoon. Because of his athleticism 
							and ability to extend plays , focus on moving the 
							ball downfield and his hurdling ability, some feel 
							he’s a better prospect than Luck. Either way, RG3 
							likely will be a top-five pick and is so talented 
							that teams who already young quarterbacks
							 will have a 
							tough time passing up him up. 
							A talented quarterback built for the 
							position…slightly undersized, but his athletic 
							ability allows him tomake plays with his feet, 
							extend plays, make the deep throw, and lead his team 
							down the field. Same natural talents as Cam Newton
							 sans the 
							size. Simply  so 
							athletic that defenders rarely get a shot at 
							him…extremely explosive.. drops back with absolute 
							ease. Unafraid to to step into a throw in traffic, 
							or reset outside the pocket. Uunlike Luck, he can 
							also move the chains with his feet. Senior year 
							reaffirmed that he is an athletic quarterback rather 
							than vice versa (i.e. a guy who can make all the 
							smart throws first, and create later if necessary). 
							 
							
							Lacks prototypical size and could have durability 
							issues if he is hit often enough (but should be 
							athletic enough to avoid big hits, even at the 
							pro-level.   Some 
							might worry that he will look to run first at the 
							next level. Had only one strong season in college, 
							but performed well on a big stage. 
							
							
							ESPN (Scouts, Inc.) - Better than average head 
							for position. Baylor's Offense does not translate to 
							the NFL game, but mobility gives him more room for 
							error than many other QB prospects. Has a lot to 
							learn about identifying coverages and hot reads. 
							Lack of ideal height leads to some problems seeing 
							entire field, but is an intelligent and disciplined 
							individual. Great work ethic / capable of digesting 
							a new system quickly.  |  
							| 
							Short accuracy is still a work in progress (lacks 
							ideal touch and must learn to take some mustard off 
							his fastball. Can be a bit off-target on underneath 
							throws, which lessens RAC opportunities. 
							Intermediate accuracy is above-average – will miss 
							within the strike zone at times -- but can 
							anticipate passing windows and fit the ball into 
							tight spots. Deep accuracy vastly improved - drop 
							the ball in between defenders. Above average 
							anticipation on deep throws. Very good touch and 
							improvement in trajectory awareness. Can hit target 
							from many different release points" |  
							| 
							Smooth delivery. Little bit longer release than 
							ideal but not a wind-up delivery. Very smooth and 
							relaxed. Ball explodes off his hand. Arm strength 
							just a notch below NFL-elite. Can make all the 
							throws and can driving the ball down the field with 
							ease. Can get great velocity on throws even when 
							forced to short-stride or when he can’t drive off 
							back foot. Smaller-than-ideal hands will struggle at 
							times to grip-and-rip on shorter throws. Lacks great 
							control on pump fakes. Some balls batted down at the 
							line of scrimmage.  |  
							| 
							"Rare athleticism and speed for the position. Will 
							become one of the most dynamic dual-threat QBs in 
							the NFL / in the same class as Michael Vick. 
							Above-average pocket presence. Initial quickness is 
							outstanding. Few college QBs buy more second-chance 
							passing opportunities. Comfortable rolling out and 
							throwing to both sides. Elite foot quickness, 
							elusiveness and burst as a runner. |  |

					Tannehill 6037 221 Texas A&M (Arm: 32½. Hand: 9) |

							BP: DNP | VJ: DNP | BJ: DNP | 3C: DNP | 20Sh: DNP | 
							60Sh: DNP | 
							 Pro day - 
							After his 
							performance at the Texas A&M pro day Thursday, I 
							think there’s a very good chance he can be a top 
							pick in the NFL draft in April.. The skill set that 
							he showed was really, really good. He had an 
							outstanding workout. He moves around well, he’s got 
							accuracy and he’s got good velocity on the ball. 
							It’s just going to be how people see him, as to 
							where he’s going to get drafted. He has excellent 
							ability and skills. He put on a show Thursday. Tannehill threw 68 passes in a 
							scripted workout coordinated by Chris Weinke, 
							a former NFL QB who has been training Tannehill 
							recently. A&M players Jeff Fuller and Cyrus Gray 
							served as Tannehill’s receivers.Fifteen of 
							Tannehill’s passes were on the goal line, and the 
							rest were on the 30-yard line going downfield. He 
							missed one long pass and had two drops; otherwise, 
							he was perfect. He also did the 40-yard dash in 4.62 
							seconds, running it just once. As good as Tannehill’s 
							performance was, it did take place “against air,” so 
							to speak. There were no defensive backs there; 
							nobody was engaging receivers coming off the line. 
							But he spins the ball well; it comes out of his hand 
							quickly. He does all of the things you look for on 
							the field. If he works at the off-the-field 
							preparation, like I think he will, I think he has a 
							chance to be a very good NFL quarterback. He’s a big, strong kid that can 
							rip the ball. He ran the 40-yard dash in 4.62 
							seconds, but we all knew he was athletic already 
							because he’s a former wide receiver. His foot is 
							fine. He threw the ball extremely well on short, 
							intermediate and deep passes. His movement skills in 
							the pocket were excellent; he had good feet and good 
							accuracy on the run. Everything checks out. I expected to see all that. This 
							was a scripted workout and it confirmed what I saw 
							on tape. Potentially, down the road, he could be a 
							franchise quarterback. The problem is, he’s not 
							ready to play right now. He’s very raw; he only had 
							19 starts in college. However, because the NFL 
							is so overheated right now when it comes to finding 
							franchise quarterbacks, I think the kid is probably 
							going to go higher than he should. I think Cleveland 
							has to take him at No. 4, and if they don’t, Miami 
							is sitting there at No. 8. So the worst-case 
							scenario for him is, I think, that he’s going to go 
							at No. 8 to the Dolphins. But I don’t think he’s 
							ready to play Day 1. I don’t think he trusts his 
							reads yet. He’s got a long way to go, but I think 
							he’s got the tools necessary to be a franchise 
							quarterback.

							PFW Scout's Candid Comment:
							 
							
							
							
							"What you have to keep in mind when you're looking 
							at Tannehill - Mike Sherman's offense is not very 
							good. (He) has plenty of arm talent. He's athletic, 
							he can move around, he's got a ton of upside. If you 
							have time to sit him, you can hit big in a few 
							years." 
							
							
							
							Pro Football Draft Guide - 
							
							
							 He 
							probably needs another year to get ready, but a 
							potentially solid starter in a West Coast offense 
							
							
							From nfl.com - 
							
							Dynamic 
							athlete who was a major contributor at receiver for 
							his first 2+ college years. More of a gunslinger 
							early on as a QB, but has morphed into an effective 
							and efficient pocket passer. A fierce competitor 
							with the overall tools to be a first- or 
							second-round pick. 
							Calm dropping back from center…it’s obvious that he 
							is a natural athlete at the position. Good feel for 
							pressure and has made his scrambling ability a heavy 
							asset in the passing game as a play-extender. 
							Mechanically sound / can anticipate where the 
							receiver will be… fairly consistent accuracy on all 
							throws and a consummate running threat. Only one 
							year’s collegiate experience but has demonstrated he 
							has the arm and decision to make it in the NFL. Did 
							a lot to dispel inexperience concerns in his senior 
							year, but he will need to continue to develop before 
							he’s ready to start. 
							
							
							ESPN (Scouts, Inc.) - Physically tough with 
							enough mental toughness to succeed at the position. 
							Best football appears in front of him. Natural 
							leader on the field with clear command of huddle. 
							Goes through progressions and very effective when 
							pre-snap read and first option aren’t there. But has 
							limited game experience, and his rawness shines 
							through at times. Forces too many throws into 
							coverage. Competitive edge gets the best of him and 
							he’ll try to make plays that aren't there. Must 
							learn the value of ball security and when to throw 
							it away.  |  
							| 
							"Good anticipation and ability to deliver the ball 
							before the receiver makes his break. A bit 
							unpolished with mechanics - especially with 
							footwork. Does not always step to target or throw on 
							balance which can cause him to miss the mark. Ball 
							placement must improve /he forces receivers to 
							adjust on routine throws. Much more accurate with 
							short-to-intermediate throws than as a deep thrower 
							(Deep throws can occasionally sail). Appears more 
							comfortable targeting the middle of the field than 
							outside the numbers. Usually throws accurately on 
							the run both rolling left and right. " |  
							| 
							¾ to sidearm release, but gets it out quickly and 
							can release the ball accurately from a variety of 
							launch points.. Low release point raises slight 
							concerns about batted balls. Arm strength is 
							adequate-to-good / can make all the NFL throws. 
							Lacks elite ability to stretch the field vertically. |  
							| 
							Above-average athleticism and quick feet within the 
							pocket. Can break contain and buy time to extend 
							plays. But must do a better job of keeping eyes 
							downfield when avoiding the rush. Long strider who 
							can move the sticks with feet if he can gain the 
							perimeter. Lacks a natural feel in the pocket, must 
							show more poise and vacates the pocket too quickly.

							BP: DNP | VJ: DNP | BJ: DNP | 3C: DNP | 20Sh: DNP | 
					60Sh: DNP | Pro Day - 
					Osweiler sprained his foot in ASU’s loss 
					to the Boise State in the Las Vegas Bowl, an injury that 
					kept him from participating in the combine. 
					One day after Ryan Tannehill 
					wowed NFL scouts and coaches with his workout, 
					Osweiler did the same, launching himself into 
					first-round consideration. He ran the 40-yard dash in 4.98 and 4.97 
					seconds indoors on FieldTurf. He threw for those in 
					attendance, but did not do any other drills. Osweiler threw 
					72 passes, with seven hitting the ground. The seven misses 
					were not, however, an indicator of wildness; his accuracy 
					was very good. He presented himself very well, which is 
					important for a quarterback, and interacted well with his 
					receivers.  Despite his height, he is very flexible 
					and has a solid throwing platform. Mazzone has worked with 
					him to correct a tendency to drop his elbow, which Osweiler 
					avoided doing on Friday. Based on Friday’s workout, I think 
					Osweiler vaulted himself into the first round on draft day. 
					He will likely work out for a number of teams; there is a 
					lot of excitement surrounding him. His showing Friday was 
					somewhat surprising; I think he exceeded the expectations of 
					everybody in attendance. Osweiler has a lot of upside, and 
					some team with a need at the position will be tempted late 
					in the first round.

							"The big guy has a lot of talent to 
					work with now. He's not ready, but he has the "tools" - sick 
					size, athletic ability, and he's a passer, not a thrower. 
					The senior class is gross." 
					
					Pro Football Draft Guide 
					
					– Brings an unprecedented package of size and athleticism. A 
					developmental QB but has starting potential in an offense 
					that emphasizes the deep ball. 
					
					From nfl.com - 
					Intriguing early-entry prospect out of ASU. Two year 
					starter.  Good athlete 
					for the position. Basketball background. Has the arm 
					strength to be a first-day pick but lacks
					 first round
					 consistency . 
					Has a very deliberate, quick-twitch setup … athleticism 
					allows him to play the position naturally and with ease. 
					Slings the ball naturally. Release is so compact and 
					effective he can get away with patting the ball
					 Shining asset is his 
					arm strength; (he can make all the NFL throws).Good leader 
					who looks in control in the huddle and on the field. Above 
					average accuracy and knows when to add touch to the ball or 
					to zip it. Has the pocket presence of a first-day pick and 
					doesn't go down easily. Can extend plays with his feet.
					 Had on-the-field 
					judgment issues throughout his college career and has 
					ball-protection issues. The more confidence he builds, the 
					more of a gun-slinger mentality he adopts - tThis severely 
					hinders his play. When under control, early in games, he is 
					athletic, accurate, and a good game manager. Will need to 
					learn to rein in some of his more competitive traits. 
					Developmental prospect who might struggle if forced to play 
					early on. 
					
					ESPN (Scouts, Inc.) - Comes from a spread system 
					/will need time to adjust to pro system. Tough competitor on 
					the field and not afraid to sit the pocket and deliver throw 
					while taking a hit or give up body as a runner. Seems to 
					have the mental capacity to adapt / sees the entire field 
					and get to second and third progression during film study. 
					Good at holding safeties and not tipping his hand with 
					initial drop. Sometimes trusts arm too much. Some 
					inconsistency vs. blitz.
						
							| 
							A lot of room to grow, but naturally accurate due to 
							athleticism and very good hand-eye coordination. 
							Will need coaching and polish with mechanics and 
							footwork . Will short-hop throws when over-striding 
							with front foot. Has big hands that swallow the ball 
							and allow him to deliver an accurate throw 
							off-balance. Can drive the ball and fit throws into 
							tight windows (only a very few prospects and a 
							handful of NFL quarterbacks can do what he can do). 
							Still developing in terms of projection and ball 
							speed with deep throws. Excellent upside in this 
							area with proper coaching and development. " |  
							| 
							¾ release but lower release point does not appear to 
							be an issue due to height. Will pat the ball which 
							can tip off defenders at the next level. But his 
							release is compact and he gets the ball out quickly 
							for a quarterback his height. Also can change up 
							release points on the move. Arm strength a notch 
							below elite but can make all the NFL throws. Can 
							drive the ball down field and stretch the field 
							vertically.  |  
							| 
							
							"Height and long limbs make for a big tackling 
							target inside the pocket. But much more athletic and 
							agile than Joe Flacco, 
							Ryan Mallett. Etc. 
							Basketball background translates to maneuvers inside 
							the pocket. Has a natural feel for the rush and good 
							at keeping eyes downfield. Ball security a glaring 
							issue /must do a better job of keeping both hands on 
							the ball inside the pocket. Will never be a running 
							threat is able to break contain and extend plays on 
							the perimeter. Mobile enough to pick up yards and

							Pro Football Draft Guide 
							
							– Should have a lengthy NFL career. But he seems 
							less franchise QB and more the guy you’d plug in 
							until something better comes around. 
							
							
							From nfl.com - 
							Has  the arm 
							strength and size that warrants first-day 
							consideration . A mechanically sound passer with a 
							solid release. Buried within a quarterback-laden 
							draft class. Big-time leader who rarely gets 
							rattled. Lack of athleticism a concern (projected as 
							more of a "game manager" type) . But
							 should be at 
							least a serviceable starter at the next level. A 
							team that falls in love with his arm strength, could 
							draft him as early as the second round. 
							Strong arm. Sometimes will throw the deep, 
							cross-field out-route (under pressure and from his 
							back foot) accurately and with ease. Not the most 
							athletic quarterback, but
							 aware in the 
							pocket & with a good sense of how and when to extend 
							a play. Strong deep passer but can struggle with 
							accuracy at times. Accurate on short to intermediate 
							throws… would be more valuable in a West Coast 
							scheme. Excellent game manager. Extremely poised in 
							the pocket and rarely lets a heavy pass rush rattle 
							him.  
							Mobility has been his Achilles heel…solely a pocket 
							passer /hardly ever moves the chains with his 
							feetCan extend, but he is not going to out-run 
							anyone at the next level. There are times when the 
							ball can get away from him when throwing 
							deep…release is OK but not fast by any means. 
							Judgment with the ball is somewhat questionable, 
							(can be slow to get rid of the ball and tends to 
							scramble into trouble). 
							
							
							ESPN (Scouts, Inc.) - Knows how to go through 
							progressions. No longer panics when first read fails 
							him. Will miss some open receivers at times but 
							knows how to scan the entire field and work back to 
							his third and fourth reads. Poise and anticipation 
							much improved in 2011. Physically and mentally 
							tough. Will hang in the pocket and take a big hit in 
							order to deliver the ball. Still makes some 
							questionable decisions - must limit amount of risks 
							he takes when defenders are wrapping him up. |  
							| 
							
							Overall accuracy is good. Good balance as a passer 
							and generally will step to his target and follow 
							through. A bit erratic on fades and back shoulder 
							throws. Will miss inside the strike zone and must 
							improve ball placement consistency. 
							Has improved his touch 
							and timing. Throws a very catchable ball and knows 
							how to lead his receivers after catch on underneath 
							throws. Most underrated aspect of his game is 
							accuracy under pressure – completed 65-percent of 
							his throws under pressure - among the elite in the 
							2012 draft class. |  
							| 
							Compact ¾ release. Has very few passes batted down. 
							Will change release point if necessary. Arm strength 
							good but not elite. Can make all the necessary 
							throws and drive the ball down the field vertically. |

							From nfl.com - 
							Pro baseball background. Weeden has been the signal 
							caller for one of the country's most efficient 
							offenses. Poised, effective with great pocket 
							presence  - 
							makes quick decisions with the ball to keep the 
							chains moving. Rarely throws interceptions despite a 
							high number of attempts /could go as high as the 
							second round. 
							Has an NFL-quality frame that Quick release is his 
							strongest asset -consistently gets the ball out with 
							a compact throwing motion and strong delivery. Ball 
							zips off his arm /he can fit it in any tight space 
							with great velocity. He is "all of the above" in 
							terms of being a mature, poised leader. Accurate 
							passer both short and long, with that gunslinger 
							mentality to go for the deep ball and give his 
							receivers a chance. Understands route progressions 
							and how to throw ball to where his guy can make a 
							play.  
							Only an average athlete and very limited when 
							scrambling. Tough time getting outside the pocket/ 
							his accuracy and touch decrease immensely when he 
							scrambles. Seems to grasp route concepts and looks 
							for his second option, but he will hold the ball too 
							long. 
							
							
							ESPN (Scouts, Inc.) - 
							Plays in a spread system and has almost no 
							experience working under center. Gun-slinger type 
							mentality Must continue to cut down on forced throws

							down the field. Physically and mentally tough. 
							Capable of leading his team from behind and 
							delivering in clutch.  |  
							| 
							Exceptionally accurate when he has a clean pocket 
							and can step into his throws. Above average 
							anticipation and timing. Knows how to take mustard 
							off fastball and throw a more catchable ball 
							underneath. Can throw accurately from different 
							launch points. Puts good air under deep ball, but a 
							high percentage of his throws were made within 10 
							yards of the LOS. Struggles with his accuracy when 
							throwing under pressure. |  
							| 
							Baseball background. Tends to pat the ball before 
							delivery / release point is closer to three-quarters 
							than over-the-top (raising concerns about batted 
							balls). However, he has a quick delivery and the 
							ball explodes off of his hand. Throws a tight spiral 
							more often than not. Overall arm strength is just a 
							notch below elite. |  
							| 
							Overall pocket awareness has 
							improved 
							but remains only 
							average at best. Tends to drift backwards vs. 
							outside pressure rather than stepping up in the 
							pocket. But showed more patience in the pocket as a 
							senior and does a good job of keeping his eyes down 
							the field. Adequate athletic ability for position. 
							Can slide and buy some second chances but lacks 
							ideal foot quickness. Will never be a running

							Must develop a quicker release.
							
							
							 Although

							a 3/4 sidearm. Has all the intangibles and is a very 
							accurate thrower both short and long. Understands

							Will scan the field and locate his second and third

							outside the pocket…a very slow mover with his feet.

							for yards after contact when scrambling. |  
							| 
							Can lead receivers and hit stationary targets in the 
							numbers but timing and footwork affect deep 
							accuracy. Can be a quarter-count late delivering the 
							ball and will throw behind receivers. Above-average 
							touch but ball can also sail when attacking the deep

							| 
							Can get the ball out of hands in a flash but has a

							needle. |  
							| 
							Active feet and excellent pocket presence. Will step 
							up or spin outside to avoid pressure coming off the 
							edge. Can sidestep pressure up the middle. Keeps

 BRS (Gollin) - 
					He'll have to pass a try-out before we 
					actually sign him. Seems to be more a creature of the 
					reputation of the Miami program than he is a legitimate pro 
					talent. He'd logically throw to former 'Cane teammate and 
					UDFA signee LaRon Byrd when he arrives in AZ.
 
 Walter Mitchell (posting on ASFN) - 2011 stats: personal best 
					65% comp. 3rd best QB rating in ACC at 158.2 20 TD 9 int. He 
					too is being brought in for a tryout. He burst on the scene 
					three years ago when Mark Whipple became the OC---had a good 
					sophomore year and then struggled quite a bit as a junior. 
					Lacks the big arm you want---and doesn't scramble the way 
					you think he could. But, he leaves Miami as 2nd All-Time in 
					TDs (70) and yards (8,826).
 
 NFL.Com - 
					Harris is a player who will be under the microscope in the 
					postseason draft process considering his history at Miami. 
					Although he has started three years (plus two games as a 
					true freshman, including the opener) and has experience 
					quarterbacking at a high level, Harris lacks many of the key 
					inherent attributes that make NFL quarterbacks successful, 
					as he is thin and lacks arm strength. Harris could stand to 
					put on size before expecting to step into an NFL pocket, as 
					well as continue to develop his arm and accuracy. While 
					there are knocks on his skill set, Harris is considered a 
					gamer and could expect to be taken in late rounds by teams 
					looking for a change-of-pace quarterback.
 
 Strengths
 Harris' biggest strength is that he 
					was able to start for so many games at Miami. He has led the 
					Hurricanes on many late-game victory drives and had some 
					productive outings. He is a good game manager and 
					distributes the ball well both short and intermediate. He 
					has shown a good throwing motion and touch on his ball.
 
 
 WeaknessesHarris is thin for the position and could have durability 
					issues. He can be sporadic with his throws and is not 
					accurate throwing the ball deep. For his size, he should be 
					more of a running threat, and he is effective mostly just 
					out of the pocket.
