Talk » This year’s deep class of quarterbacks features as many

NFL prospects full of hope Parris Campbell Jersey , hype and hazard.There’s Oklahoma’s Baker Mayfield and questions about the Heisman winner’s size and stature. A lot of teams would love UCLA’s Josh Rosen for his skills and strength but wonder if he’s a good fit in the locker room and their organization.Wyoming’s Josh Allen has enviable size but faces questions about his regression last season. USC’s Sam Darnold has to answer queries about his ball security and why he’s not throwing at the NFL combine this weekend like the other prospects.Louisville’s Lamar Jackson , the 2016 Heisman winner, needs to prove he’s a better pro prospect throwing the ball than catching it. And teams wonder if Oklahoma State’s Mason Rudolph can transition to the pro offense after operating exclusively out of the shotgun.Will these guys be the next Carson Wentz, who ignited the Philadelphia Eagles‘ Super Bowl run in just his second season before getting hurt and rooting on Nick Foles from the sideline?Or will they be the next Paxton Lynch, the 2016 first-round flop whose inability to grasp the complexities of the pro game has Broncos GM John Elway once again searching for answers at quarterback?Elway has found it difficult to land a franchise quarterback from the college ranks like he did in free agency with Peyton Manning six years ago.Last year, the Broncos cycled through his draft picks Brock Osweiler, Trevor Siemian and Lynch during the team’s worst season in decades.“Believe me, I’m not done swinging and missing,” said Elway, who owns the fifth pick in this year’s draft. “Misses don’t bother me. We just have to figure out a way to get it right.”Elway could go after a veteran again in free agency such as Kirk Cousins. But the Broncos staff coached Mayfield and Allen at the Senior Bowl and this week and they plan to bring in several of the other top prospects for visits leading up to the draft on April 26.“There is a possibility of some really good quarterbacks coming out of this draft,” Elway said.Maybe not like his own class in 1983, which produced three Hall of Famers in himself Will Harris Jersey , Dan Marino and Jim Kelly, but this year’s crop of quarterbacks is filled with intrigue and promise.And plenty of questions.Among them:TALL ORDERIs Mayfield too short? He measured in just over 6 feet tall with a hand size of 9\ inches, under the standard targets of 6-2 and 9 inches.Elway, for one, isn’t concerned, about Mayfield’s measurements.“I think that (stigma) has been broken,” Elway said. “You’ve got Drew Brees — they’ve proven that you can do it. He’s obviously very much a competitor. He’s had a great college career and won the Heisman Trophy. He’s proved he can play.”Nor is Elway turned off by Mayfield’s crossing the line at times.He was arrested last year and charged with disorderly conduct, public intoxication and resisting arrest. After the Kansas Jayhawks wouldn’t shake his hand, he was caught on camera grabbing his crotch and swearing at the Kansas sideline.“A lot of times you get tied up in the emotions of the situation and where he is. I like to see a guy with that kind of passion,” Elway said.HOT WATERRosen’s time in Westwood was defined as much by his proclivity for creating headlines away from the field.A viral photo showed a hot tub he brought into his dorm room. Another photo showed Rosen playing golf and wearing a headband that disparaged then-presidential candidate Donald Trump. When UCLA announced its 15-year, $280-million deal with Under Armour, Rosen used the big contract to mock the NCAA’s nonprofit status on social media.Questions have arisen about how well Rosen will get along with his new teammates in the NFL http://www.detroitlionsteamonline.com/austin-bryant-jersey , but two of his Bruins teammates also at the combine quickly dismissed those concerns.“Josh came in No. 1 high school guy, a little cocky, of course you hear off-campus stuff about him, but as the years went on he really matured,” tackle Kolton Miller said. “He’s really well-rounded, he doesn’t try to be more than what he has to be, a really good leader. I don’t really have anything negative to say about him.”Neither does center Scott Quessenberry, who said the negative rap of Rosen is unfair “because of the type of guy that he is and the type of stand-up human being that he is and the type of pro that he’s going to be.”“He’s a great dude, I love hanging around him and being with him, and whoever gets him is extremely lucky. They’re getting a once in a millennium talent, in my opinion.”CATCH AND THROWSome teams want to see the dual-threat Jackson working out the wide receivers this week and not just slinging it around with the quarterbacks. But Jackson never caught a single pass at Louisville, where he threw for 9 Max Scharping Jersey ,043 yards and 69 touchdowns and ran for 4,132 yards and 50 TDs in 38 games.“Is there a quarterback that’s gone and been a wide receiver successfully?” Elway asked.Not many. Bert Emmanuel, Kordell Stewart, Antwaan Randle El, Terrelle Pryor.“I think if he’s going to make it,” Elway said, “he’s making it as a quarterback in the right situation. He’s explosive.” RENTON, Wash. (AP) — The comparisons began the night L.J. Collier became a first-round draft pick and have persisted since, including Friday when the Seattle Seahawks‘ rookie minicamp opened.They go like this: if Collier develops the Seahawks could have found a new version of Michael Bennett. While that might not seem like a fair burden to place on Collier, the rookie from TCU selected with the 29th overall pick is embracing it.“I think that’s a great comparison because he can play outside, he can play in. He’s a tough, hard-nosed guy Brian Burns Jersey ,” Collier said. “He loves to hit people. I like his style of play, his flexibility to go in and out, things like that. Obviously I can do that, too. That’s why I see the comparison.”It’s not that coach Pete Carroll or the Seahawks staff is trying to link what Bennett brought during his time in Seattle with what Collier is going to provide right away. But many of the characteristics that made Bennett such a disruptive player in Seattle are similar to what Collier showed in college.Most notably, the Seahawks are certain they drafted a defensive end that can play multiple positions, especially in passing situations. Collier was a first-team All-Big 12 selection in his senior season after recording 42 tackles, 11 ½ tackles for loss, six sacks, and four pass breakups. He played in a rotation during his first three years at TCU before becoming a full-time starter as a senior.“He has a style to his play that I was attracted to right off the bat. He plays with really good leverage, has really long arms and uses his hands really well. And you could see it in the walkthrough even, just his position and he has a sense for that,” Carroll said. “That’s a special characteristic that he already has. So technique-wise he’s been coached very well also. There’s stuff we can do with him. I think he’s going to be a really exciting guy to fit into the scheme.”Collier was an unexpected first-round pick http://www.pantherscheapshop.com/cheap-authentic-greg-little-jersey , with most draft analysts expecting him to be taken on the second day. True to form, Seattle defied convention and took Collier earlier as defensive linemen started disappearing from the draft board. Coming from the small town of Munday, Texas, Collier said it’s been a whirlwind week of hearing from old friends, teachers and “some cousins I didn’t really know.”But now his complete focus is on learning Seattle’s defense as quickly as he can.“If anything, it drives me to get better,” he said. “The guys here are going to push me. They’re going to help me get better. It doesn’t put any pressure on me at all. I’ve lived with pressure my whole life. It just pushes me to go harder and play even better.”NOTES: Carroll said Seattle would like to keep RT Germain Ifedi around for the long-term even though the team declined the fifth-year option on the former first-rounder. “We’re in the midst of trying to continue to fit the roster together and all that and the big demands, sometimes we can jump on it, sometimes we can’t. … This is not an indication of anything. We like the guy and hope he’ll be with us for a long time.” … WRs Gary Jennings (fourth round) and John Ursua (seventh round) sat out the first day of camp with minor hamstring injuries. Jennings is likely to be out a couple of weeks while Ursua was pushing to take part in the weekend camp, Carroll said.
