If anything, his style of play matches very well with NFL play. He's been working with a qb guru who's tutored Big Ben and received rave reviews.![]()

Maybe a Tebow type, or a Big Ben, but I think Ben was a much better passer coming out wasn't he? |

The LSU-Auburn game was about as close to the speed and style of play he will face in the NFL and with his style of play, he won't be able make those two-three same difference making plays in the NFL. Let the Redskins draft him and you'll see. |
