Wonder what Driskel would have done with Chip at Oregon? I'm thinking it would have been pretty good.

He definitely didn't live up to expectations, but re invented himself at LTech.

Great potential for the 6th round. Has all the size and measurables u want. Plus he can run. Hmm with proper coaching could be a steal

Love this pick and this late in the draft! Prescott and Driskel were my guys to target later in the draft. Great value IMO. He could prove to be nothing in which case it's a low 6th wasted(i.e. No big deal) but he has crazy potential.

Needs to get his head right and bust his ass. Hopefully he uses the fact that he went so low as fuel to take this seriously.

Yeah his time at Florida wasn't pretty. This smells like a Chip-pick. Don't love it. In order for him to be successful, he'll have to sit at least 2-3 years.

That's an interesting stat. Especially since throwing under pressure was his biggest knock. He greatly improved going from Florida to Louisiana Tech.
