Brock Osweiler Set to Join NFL Draft

Arizona State junior quarterback, Brock Osweiler has announced that he will declare for the 2012 NFL Draft. Osweiler is most known for his sheer height at 6'8, but the big guy became the first Arizona State quarterback to throw for over 4,000 yards this season. Osweiler also accounted for 26 of the Sun Devils touchdowns.
As a high school senior he chose to pursue the football rather then going to Gonzaga on a basketball scholarship. Arizona State was set to have a new head coach and possibly a new offensive coordinator, which helped push Osweiler to the draft. Osweiler will likely go in the 2nd or 3rd round at this point, but a lot can change in the evaluation period. He is a spread offense quarterback

I voiced concerns with Mallett's height and "chicken legs" last year
But this guy is built like a power forward. He’s thick and has a body that is more well suited to surviving in the NFL in my opinion.

We still should have drafted the crackhead last year.
Tell me this guy smokes something and has a nice deep ball and I’m sold.
I see it as more cushion for the pushin'

I'm not.
Mallett was awesome.
Best passer of the class, but just not athletic.
He definitely wouldn’t underthrow like Rex.

Mallet = Brady any one?

He has a tremendous opportunity
Still not a fan of his delivery and decision making. I haven’t seen him in a year now either though.

Dude would have floundered here, he's in the best possible situation he can be in now.
He was extremely immature and his legs would’ve been snapped with this line. Shanny would have eaten that crackhead alive if he had to actually play.

Wilson Phillips > Ryan Mallett

Where do they teach you to talk like this? In some Panama City "Sailor wanna hump-hump" bar, or is it getaway day and your last shot at his whiskey? Sell crazy someplace else, we're all stocked up here.

I watched a handful of his games this year and he is extemely raw.
But even with his height he has decent mobility and is an above average athlete. I could see him landing in the 2nd teir of QBs like Foles and ahead of guys like Kirk Cousins. 2-3rd RD.
@Callahan_9 on the twitter machine.
agree he def. needs to sit, but there is some nice upside there
Steveospeak - Content Manager of Fanspeak.com
he's a very interesting but raw prospect
I feel bad for him, with the coaching change not being too favorable and then Barkley and Jones going back to school.
Steveospeak - Content Manager of Fanspeak.com
Maybe no benefit of the all-star games either, unless he goes to the one in LA
Editor at Hogs Haven - Redskins Blog
Twitter: @RVAparks Check it out for the latest Redskins news and opinions
yeah that def. won't help him
but i don’t think he had much of a choice, as he probably didn’t want to play for Todd Graham (not that anyone should blame him).
Steveospeak - Content Manager of Fanspeak.com
There was some talk of him graduating and transferring to UCLA to play right away
I’m guessing ASU wouldn’t release him
Editor at Hogs Haven - Redskins Blog
Twitter: @RVAparks Check it out for the latest Redskins news and opinions
makes sense, isn't his OC going to UCLA?
yeah no way Graham would care about anyone but himself. I can’t believe ASU even wanted him. Hopefully some coaching staff is patient with him and lets him develop.
off topic: Do you think with Jones going back to school, Allen might transfer to an FCS school? It seems to make sense.
Steveospeak - Content Manager of Fanspeak.com
I'd be interested to see if he'd be interested in playing at UTSA under Larry Coker, back in his hometown.
I have no idea what their QB situation is like though.
Or maybe he’ll want to go to a FCS school on the East Coast with a former Big 12 coach, hmmm? haha
Editor at Hogs Haven - Redskins Blog
Twitter: @RVAparks Check it out for the latest Redskins news and opinions
haha or maybe one that has won a National Championship like JMU
Steveospeak - Content Manager of Fanspeak.com
JMU's drug addict QB still has another year left, so I doubt that would be a fit.
I’m still befuddled that people here in Richmond think Aaron Corp is a draft prospect
Editor at Hogs Haven - Redskins Blog
Twitter: @RVAparks Check it out for the latest Redskins news and opinions
Or maybe an Up-And-Comer like ODU?
No Danny, Nooooooo - Tom Landry, 1982., and Washington Redskins fans, 1999-
They don't have a QB leaving, wouldn't make sense

I haven’t followed this guy at all this season, nor heard much of him in general. I’m surprised he’s getting a 2nd or 3rd round grade if his NFL eligibility has been kind of under the radar.
Neither National Football Post or Walterfootball have him ranked as a top 20 QB prospect, and they are including juniors. Maybe he’ll fly up the boards, but I donno about taking him in the top 3 rounds. His junior year was a good one, minus those pickles.
It's what the NFL Advisory Committee told him today

Watching some video on him now, looks and sounds like Rocky Balboa, plus he couldn’t beat out Steven Threet. May be a LITTLE risky. Played well against USC, but had some stinkers against some real turds.
His supporting cast wasn't too great
The only game that he had that was really bad this year was against Illinois
Editor at Hogs Haven - Redskins Blog
Twitter: @RVAparks Check it out for the latest Redskins news and opinions
If I had my pick of two raw QBs, I think I’d still go with Tannehill, though he did have a decent supporting cast in that offense.
I would too, at this point
Editor at Hogs Haven - Redskins Blog
Twitter: @RVAparks Check it out for the latest Redskins news and opinions
dude he had the guy with the hottest sister in the world as one of his receivers what do you mean his supporting cast wasn't great??
Steveospeak - Content Manager of Fanspeak.com
got me....
“Aaron, who is your quarterback? He’s so tall…”
“SHUT UP AMANDA”

Twitter: @RVAparks Check it out for the latest Redskins news and opinions
haha
couldn’t have been easy for him, every interview probably wants to ask about his sister.
side note, I am a fan of Gerrell Robinson their top receiver, 6’4" or 6’5" really impressed me the 3 or 4 times i watched ASU. He could be a nice late round option.
Steveospeak - Content Manager of Fanspeak.com
His best reciever is like 5'4

5'4 receivers don't usually make it in the D1
Editor at Hogs Haven - Redskins Blog
Twitter: @RVAparks Check it out for the latest Redskins news and opinions
exactly, which equals a poor supporting cast
and okay i exagerated, the kid is 5’8
Hail to 'Em
by SkinsaneAsylum on Jan 6, 2012 12:05 PM EST up reply actions
haha Plufgrad is small
but Robinson was the leading receiver and he’s 6’4"
Steveospeak - Content Manager of Fanspeak.com
just to clarify NFP only includes juniors once they declare (with the exception of Luck whom they pretty much had there all year)
but yeah no one really saw him as one to declare even late in the season. But with two of the more hyped QB’s going back, and a coaching change I don’t blame him. If a team wants a raw but really good upside prospect he makes some sense in the 3rd round.
Steveospeak - Content Manager of Fanspeak.com
damn if only vince mcmann bought the redskins instead of snyder...
he would draft this guy and change his name to the giant Osweiler!! he say he was 8 feet tall and say he dont even need a o-line
im sold on Ostreicher!!
also solid lacrosse player and member of the choir…
