In my opinion, Winston could have been as well - he had run capabilities out of high school. Again, it just wasn't necessary in the system he played.
Well frick. Andrew Luck is pretty good at running too (ran for almost 500 yards in 2010 @ 8 yards a carry). Guess he should be labeled a DT.
ETA: plus over 900 yards in three seasons in the NFL

Not to get philosophical, but yeah I guess so. Dual "threat" implies he's a threat. You're only a threat of you are capable of running/scrambling, but you don't nexessarily have to actually do it.
I think the point I'm making is "dual threat" is an individual measurement, whereas the offensive style a player runs is more often a "team/coach" measurement. You can be a dual threat but never run. I don't think the dual threat or pocket passer status is really what dictates whether you will translate to the NFL.

Actually, Andrew Luck's athleticism is criminally underrated.
Dude has a set of wheels on him.
