He was articulate, when asked which NFL QB he most resembles... He played the cards well.

Names no one.. Went on to sell him self as a picket passer that can take a hit with out fear. Admitted he isn't a "mobile QB by today's standards (Wilson/Kaepernick), but is athletic and mobile like a Brees/Manning/Brady, he even elaborated and said he is not going to break out a 40 yard run like Manziel but he will move 12" to make a defensive player miss".

6'5", great touch, long arm, moves up in the pocket when he "feels" pressure so he has great pocket awareness.

I am not an LSU homer, if i watched any college games last year it was watching the Manziel circus act.

Zach Mettenberger || 2013 Highlights

He's your traditional QB prospect. IMO, he still has a lot of work to do on his touch, but he has a bazooka arm and everything else you mentioned. Plus, he's been coached by Cam Cameron and very familiar with a pro style offense. His improvement under one year of tutelage from Cam was significant... and impressive. If he wasn't hurt, I honestly feel that he's one of the most pro ready and top quarterbacks in this draft.

Some may laugh but I actually think Zach will be a capable backup & possible starter at the NFL level. Yes I'm a LSU grad and homer but he has excellent 'zip and accuracy' on a lot of his throws. One of my few knocks on him the past two seasons has been his decision making in the pocket when it collapses & that he likes to stare down guys (Odell and Landry) too much for my taste.... all correctable with proper coaching.

Keep a lazy eye on this kid down the road.
