The Dan LeFevour jersey may be the most popular Central Michigan jersey of all time after the NFL draft this year. This guy could be better than Big Ben in Pittsburgh. If you are doubting his skills because he played at a small school, then know that he leads the NCAA in all time total touchdowns with 150. He is started since a freshman and it is no wonder he is being scouted so heavily as he has the size and arm strength, combined with a good touch, to succeed in the NFL.
It will be interesting to see how he compares to the other great QB’s at the NFL combine. If he looks better than Clausen, McCoy, and Bradford, he could sneak into the top 10 of the draft. Many have him 3 or 4 on their quarterback board but I think he has the most upside, except maybe an underrated Tebow, in this draft.
The draft should be interesting because the best college quarterbacks may not be the best pros. While Tebow, Bradford, and McCoy all had great teams in school, they each have question marks about whether or not they will be great in the NFL. Both LeFevour and Clausen came from teams that were not in the top 20 and may be the first two quarterbacks taken.
It is always interesting to see how these guys do in their first year. I like it when rookies get some game time action and not ride the bench for a few years before getting a chance to see what they can do. If you draft a guy to be your man then get him in the game. Unless the guy truly is not ready or the team is horrible, then I may not want him getting destroyed before his career even starts.
