Good thing these are real.

Just about all college, pro QB's can make those throws. Thing is, it's get a little harder when a defense is on the other side. I remember reading once that Chris Jackson while at LSU could make 20-30 3's in a row in practice. In a game though that translated to about 35% of them hitting the mark. I commend the guy, he does have good accuracy but until he can do it in a game it's nothing more than a Harlem Globetrotter gimmick.

I have no idea, but Saints Scounting has to find a good backup qb.
You have to have this.

Its smart on his part because it creates a buzz which may make soembody take a look at him who wouldn't otherwise.

OK, not trying to take away from this young man, he's probably a great ball handler, but given enough time, even I could make a video like this. Notice the video is cut between each shot, and it's done indoors so you have no perception of time, so he could have made these shots over a period of weeks. Give me an uncut video making all of these shots, then I'll be impressed.

I thought it was a good video - fun to watch, but it won't do him a damn bit of good at the combine.
