Jeff Driskel Dominates at Combine

[TLB]

Quality article.

"The conversation I've heard a lot of GMs talk about is who's the next Kurt Cousins?

I imagine Kirk Cousins feels the pressure.

==========

Florida used him in a lot of ways as an athlete. He's a little bit of a dark horse.

Such as the drop back sack, the scramble-fumble-rooskie, and the "Fair Play" route where you share the ball with opposing DBs.

Oh, boy. If he gets drafted and makes a roster certain folks are gonna' freak.

Oh, he will get drafted. This is the worst QB class ever that I recall. Most projections have a 1AA and a Div 2 QB as the top two guys.

JEFF IS NOT A QB!!!

If an NFL team drafts him to play QB, they are wasting a pick. In 5 years, his game never changed. He can't read a defense, can't throw a receiver open, can't complete the long ball and just looks scared in the pocket. These NFL execs need to turn on the tape - it won't lie. Sure he looks good in practice, with no pass rush, but put him against a defense and he pays more attention to the D-Line rushing him, than he does to his receivers downfield.

I'd like to see him get drafted and make some bank but I don't think there's a long term future in the league for him. If he isn't stubborn and agrees to give hybrid TE a shot he may stick around a little longer.....HOWEVER there is no way he could make a serious run at being a full time TE in the NFL where TE's are often ask to take on fire breathing 250-260# DE's and LB's. He does not have the upper body build/type nor has he practiced the blocking techniques required by even college TE's. There's a reason you don't see many freshmen playing TE in CFB, It's not the easiest position to learn and play and we also don't know if he even has good hands.

This is a bad qb draft at the top end of the position, but a much deeper group for round 3-6 than last year. A good number of 2's and 3's will come out of this years draft. Maybe one of those will be an average starter down the line, but there doesn't appear to be a special talent in this draft.

Former Arky QB Matt Jones blew up the combine as well. That worked out well for him.

That guy had a booger sugar problem.

yeah, that's who I was referring to, but didn't he have some personal issues as well?

New Former Arky QB Matt Jones blew up the combine as well. That worked out well for him.

Worked out as a Wide Receiver. He was also drafted as a Wide Receiver in the first round.

By the Jags, one of many 1st rd WR busts for the Jags

I doubt that. Too much on tape to allow someone to over draft like that probably being the QB position but you never know I guess. Did our 1st round O lineman do much this season anyone know?

Humphries (1st round - Cardinals) - overall a disappointment, but getting better (didn't actually play in a game, from what I can gather)

Green (3rd round - Cowboys) - got hurt and had hip surgery last summer

Garcia (4th round - Broncos) - played more than any other UF rookie O-lineman and won a super bowl (5 starts at OG)

Brown (7th round - Niners) - Improved throughout the year and even started a game later in the season

Tyler Moore - (not drafted - picked up by the Bears in July and released in September)

Vandy plays better defense than Combine does.

 

[GatorJ]

Joey Bosa looks like he may be a dud after his poor showing at the combine.

Mydock wouldn't get off his jock while he was working out.

He's no JJ Watt, that's for sure.

Talk about a waste. I've seen pregame banners give more fight than this guy.

Wait, I thought he was saying last week that he was the #1 player there. quote: “I do believe I’m the best player in the draft,” he said.

I've been saying it for 4 years and will continue to. Driskel is a "panic artist" who plays scared! All anyone has to do is turn on the tape and see him crumble under pressure,repeatedly!
