It seems very unlikely that he has much of a shot at playing QB in the league, since he came to the combine as a DB and did very little throwing (but correct me if there's info otherwise). That said, how good of a DB is he going to be? He hasn't really seen the field as a DB in 3 years now. Is he worth taking over a player with similar numbers (4.5/4.6 40) that's actually been playing the position and studying the technique for years now? He was a great SEC player so it's hard to imagine him going really late in the draft, but it's also hard to see what he really offers as a draftee right now.

Be a 2nd or 3rd string CB.

Does he have the frame to play safety? If not, he will be have to be in a zone scheme to have a shot at success.

Regret getting kicked off Georgia. Leave it to auburn to ruin a kids pro career by not using him at his best position

He actually was invited to the combine as a QB and did all the exercises that the other QB's did. However, he feels his best opportunity is going in as a DB and was put through DB tests after he completed the QB round.

He has the size and speed to be intriguing to some teams. He may get the opportunity but I do not know how he did in the DB portion of his combine last week.

One of the more interesting draft picks in quite a while IMO. I'd love to see him get a shot at QB, but I don't know of a team thatd give him a shot. I thought he looked good at the combine making his throws, but I'm not an NFL GM.

I wish him a long and prosper career in whatever he chooses.

I'm just glad Alabama doesn't have to face him again.

He'll walk on as an invited FA somewhere and get a shot.

Spend 2-3 years on a practice squad and then go play in Canada or the Arena league.

A player that can take two roster spots at once for a ball club. An emergency, 3rd string quarterback while also doubling as a back-up defensive back to start his career.

IF he makes it, it will be as a special teams, backup, practice team-type guy. Nothing wrong with that either.
