Official Bio

Strengths:
Outstanding athleticism...Good speed and quickness with a burst...Elusive open field runner with great vision who is difficult to tackle...Versatile and can be a weapon on trick plays...Very productive...Has a pretty high football IQ...Also has some potential as a return man...A proven winner and team leader with solid intangibles.
Weaknesses:
Does not have the size, arm strength or accuracy that you look for in an NFL signal caller and will most likely have to make a position change...Is he open to a move???...Has a slight frame...Durability is a big concern...Has had some issues with ball security...Extremely raw as a route runner and pass catcher...Limited experience in a pro-style offensive system... Will he be tempted to pursue a pro baseball career?
Notes:
Prolific college quarterback who is being looked at as a wideout prospect by most teams...Was a four-year starter...Two-time Big East Offensive Player of the Year...Put his name all over the Mountaineers record book and is the NCAA's all-time leading rusher for a quarterback...Was selected by the Angels in the Major League baseball draft twice (4th round in 2004 / 27th round in 2007)...Had scholarship offers from SEC programs out of high school but chose West Virginia because he wanted an opportunity to play quarterback...Missed time with a number of minor injuries throughout his college career...May attempt to follow in the footsteps of guys like Antwaan Randle El, Josh Cribbs, Brad Smith and Isaiah Stanback as college signal callers who made the successful transition to wideout in the pros...A long-term project who will require considerable development and patience...A great college player but not much of a quarterback prospect...Could be in for a Draft Day freefall if he is unwilling to play another position and insists on staying under center.
