Mike Kafka looks to be the man of the hour for the Eagles if Michael Vick is unable to play this week. What we said about Kafka when he came out in 2010:

Kafka, Michael Northwestern 6027 216 5.03 One-year starter. Right handed. Good football intelligence and poise. A playmaker that has good touch and anticipation. Can scramble for positive yards.

East-West Shrine Game Quarterbacks

Mike Kafka (Northwestern) – 6027, 216. Only started one year, but was impressive in practice and the game with his football intelligence and poise. A playmaker that has good touch and anticipation. Can scramble for positive yards. Steps up into the pocket and steps into his passes. Late round, developmental project. John Skelton (Fordham) – 6050, 244. Big strong armed drop back passer that showed his fast ball during the week. A developmental type with raw skills and footwork. Touch is inconsistent on short and intermediate passes. There was also some question as to whether football will be his main priority. Daryll Clark (Penn State) – 6017, 238. Good athlete that throws well on the run. Projects to a running back similar to San Francisco’s Michael Robinson. Max Hall (BYU) – 6002, 202. Up and down week of practice but is generally accurate on short and medium routes. Good anticipation on seam routes. Shorter than ideal. Smart and learns quickly. Struggled throwing the ball in the rain. Matt Nichols (Eastern Washington) – 6016, 220. Good arm strength. Can buy time with his feet to extend the play. Has a chance to develop with borderline measurables and skills. Todd Reesing (Kansas) – 5100, 188. Good leader and anticipation, elusive when he pulls the ball down. Below average arm strength and size. Canadian league candidate
