WVUFootball29 Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Doing a little research this morning and came across an intriguing prospect that I've not seen brought up here. QB John Skelton from Fordham is a 6'5 250lbs gunslinger from El Paso, TX. He's been a starter for Fordham for 3 seasons where he has thrown for 9,928 yards, 66 TDs, and 36 INTs. Scouts Inc has Skelton ranked as the #10 QB in this draft so he'll be a late pick, probably 6th-Undrafted. I haven't seen any Fordham games so I can't comment on his arm strength or accuracy, but I think he'll get a combine invite and it'll be interesting to see how he stacks up against some of the bigger name QBs in college football. Could we have a possible Flacco-type sleeper on our hands here? Anyone seen this guy play care to comment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxelRipper Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 interesting... pretty big guy... maybe a brady type 6th rounder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mopreme Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Dominic Randolph from Holy Cross is much better and a true darkhorse in the Patriot League. He was a gunslinger and broke all sorts of records. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dietlbomb Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 I saw him tear up Cornell's defense, but Cornell totally sucked this year. Some of the long passes were screens; the Cornell secondary couldn't tackle anyone that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the long passes were screens; the Cornell secondary couldn't tackle anyone that day. From what I've read he's got a good arm, but needs to work on mechanics and delivery to make it at a higher level. Could be an intriguing prospect in the 7th or as an UDFA with the right staff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quikchomp Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Flacco was a sleeper? He was drafted #18 overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills_red Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Flacco was a sleeper? He was drafted #18 overall. before he shot up draft boards from mid R pick to 18? Yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxelRipper Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Highlights hmm... interesting... looks like big ben back there... and the pass that landed at the 50 from his endzone... in the later few rounds, i say take a flyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
47Yards Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 I saw him tear up Cornell's defense, but Cornell totally sucked this year. Some of the long passes were screens; the Cornell secondary couldn't tackle anyone that day. Yeah, I was at that game too. He did look impressive against Cornell, but that's not really saying much. FCS football isn't anything near BCS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffaloaggie Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Highlights Looked like he has a good live arm. Can see where he needs work on his release and delivery point. A little out to the side. Good size. Let's see if he gets any hype from Kiper et al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
