Yes, I know he sucked. Alabama sucked, we are awful, etc.

But credit where credit is due, the young man is an amazing athlete.

• 4.33 Michael Vick
• 4.34 Lamar Jackson
• 4.37 Jalen Milroe

I'm not surprised that he's fast, I think that is pretty common knowledge. But I am a little surprised at just how fast he is. Watching him play, it always seemed like it took him a little longer than other top-level athletes to hit his top gear. I guess that's not true after all.

Some GM will draft him.

It’s all about potential.

After today I have a feeling someone will take a chance on turning him into the next Lamar Jackson.

I'm personally not a fan of that style and prefer a pocket passer, but more power to him if he can somehow just get to the league.

Guys like Tim Tebow and Jalen Hurts were told the same thing (about changing positions) — one failed miserably and one just won the Super Bowl, so I guess anything could happen.

Look, I agree, but Vick and Jackson both went to 4 Pro Bowls, and Jackson is a two-time NFL MVP.

Whether we like it or not (I don't), it's part of the pro game today.

The NBA sucks too, but they are still drafting 7-ft dudes who jack up threes for some reason.

In all seriousness, I read today where the rules committee may ban it during the offseason.

He completed 48% of his passes throwing to air.

I'm not sure how "amazing" of an athlete he is. Other than having blazing top end speed what else does he do great? He isn't an elusive runner, doesn't have very good quick lateral movement for someone with his speed, is easily tackled, isn't an elite passer, he does have a strong arm, doesn't read defenses well, and can't do RPO's worth a crap. Seriously, other than running fast, what does he do that's so great?

He was drafted as a WR. Prolly the best numbers ever for a QB if he had been picked to play that.
