I was shocked today to see that Mitch Leidner is considered a very draftable QB prospect in 2017, at this relatively early stage. I like him and think he mostly gets a bum rap around here but I never saw future NFL guy in him.
Those position rankings are well above what any of our CBs have posted at any time, and above any recent player besides Maxx. In fact I don't think any Gopher QB has rated that highly in my memory.
Has the general WR deficit during his time sandbagged a much better QB than we thought? Or is this a way of saying Mitch has come a long way in his time here and should have a monster senior year? I hope.
Or is it a bunch of internet guys who saw his size and 4 year starter -- but no tape -- and assumed he must be a prospect?
- Walter Football ranks him #8 QB prospect overall, including juniors-to-be
- NFLDraftScout.com has him #5 QB among seniors-to-be
