Okay, the draft chart is being filled up.

Great college quarterbacks who didn’t stick as great NFL quarterbacks.

Round 1:

Johnny Manziel (berowns)

Round 2:

Tim Tebow (Broncos/Jets/Pats)

Round 3:

Eric Crouch (Rams/Dolphins)

All three are the scramble type of QB. Someone will have to come up with an NFL scheme to make use of this unutilized talent.

Also Danny Weurffel.

Both Heisman winners from Florida, both upstanding people, and both lackluster in the NFL.

For Honorable Mention, we can add Heisman runner-up Rex Grossman.

At the professional level, everybody is much faster. Even the 350 pound linebackers. A scrambling quarterback will get pummeled out there so if you don't have great passing skills, you are going to likely wash out.

The game wasn't always like this. If you ever get a chance to see film clips of much older games, anything before 1960, you will see that nearly every play is a rushing play. Quarterbacks basically spent the game taking the snap and handing the ball off to a back and those that passed a lot were seen as quite queer. And I'm talking the original meaning of queer, back when it was another word to describe "odd" or "peculiar".

“Eric Crouch (Rams/Dolphins)”

He tried out for wide receiver, not QB. He could not take the pounding from the linebackers/defensive backs and quit voluntarily. He quit during training camp.
