Big 12 QB lighting it up isn't really earthshaking news. Guys put up huge numbers playing in gimmicky video game offenses and then go on to do next to nothing in the NFL.
I like Rudolph better than most QBs coming out of that conference but he still has plenty of flaws just the same.
"He's O.K.," said one AFC scouting director. "He's playing in a great, quarterback-friendly offense. Probably has a top 10-caliber group of receivers.

But not sure the video game numbers he's gonna put up this year will translate to the NFL."
