Junior entry Jimmy Clausen has good arm strength and ball velocity.
Steps into his throws and demonstrates accuracy and confidence in his
arm. Played in a pro style offense. Makes good decisions. Underclassman
Sam Bradford is coming off right shoulder surgery after his injury in the

his last full year at Oklahoma. Smart and accurate. Played in a spread
offensive system. Colt McCoy has a history of making good decisions
and the ability to scramble for positive yards. Generally played with a
clean pocket and demonstrated outstanding short and medium accuracy.
Reportedly will recover in time to work out at the Combine after right
shoulder injury in the BCS championship game. Tim Tebow is a lefthanded
durable 3 ½ year starter with intangibles off the chart. May be a
utility player, running back, etc. while learning to play NFL caliber football.
Outstanding running instincts and strength. Can he beat the blitz with his
release? Slow delivery is a major concern. Tony Pike played in spread
offense where by scheme, the receivers are generally wide open.
Demonstrated good vision in a big play offense. Can extend the plays for
his receivers by his movement in the pocket. Had surgery during season to
reattach plate in left forearm. AVERAGE
