I think he'd make for a very intriguing pick late in the draft and if nothing else could be a monster on special teams simply through sheer effort and football instincts.

Liking this guy a lot. A longtime QB, this is his first year playing at LB and he has played pretty damn well. He's also taken snaps at QB and RB. Very versatile, high football IQ player that seems to be coming along at linebacker, showing great instincts at the position which has helped to make up for his relative inexperience. He has been one of the better defensive players in the country thus far this season.

I'll have to check him out. I'm always amazed by these "jack of all trade" players.

Why did he switch positions? Not cutting it at qb?

Yep. Got beaten out but he's such a smart player that they sought to find another role for him, which they did at MLB. Not sure if he has the athleticism to constantly drop into coverage at the next llevel but could definitely see him having a nice career as a top special teams performer.
