    I am not saying he's got no chance but I just don't think he has the mechanics to play in the NFL.  Hard work is good but hes not ranked high in mock drafts, and if you look at players who were solid in college that just don't pan out in the NFL its very long. 

    I also want to say I think the only way he is succesful is if the offense is ran in a smilar fashion the Gators are ran.  He has to come in as the main guy, he can't be a peice. 

    If he comes in every 2 or three plays he will never work out, if he comes in and starts every down and throws defenses off, he will be solid, problem is I don't see that happeneing(yet).

    He could become a Pro Bowl TE.

    He should be able to start out as a specialty player in a spread out offense. He can be a jack of all trades, run pass, can he catch?

    I think with the amount of heart he has, he will earn a position as a feature QB, and that offense will be catered around his abilities. It worked in Florida right?
