2013 NFL Combine Scouting Analysis and Comparisons

  • Collin Klein being compared to Tim Tebow isn't a surprising comparison, but that's got to sting a little.

    Bottom Line: Klein was a great college player, but is unlikely to have that same kind of success in the professional ranks. He will have to make serious changes to how he plays the quarterback position, or he will need to convert to running back or fullback. However, Klein is still a massive threat running the football, as he runs with great power and can break tackles. A creative offensive staff could potentially find a place for him.

    Apparently, EJ Manuel's biggest weakness... is that he can't pass.

    Weaknesses: Gives opponents too many chances for turnovers by forcing throws into coverage trying to make a play. Area code accuracy – short throws are often low or wide, preventing receivers from making a play after the catch. Deep ball accuracy is uneven, as well. Gets happy feet under pressure, spins to the outside to avoid the rush. Inconsistent recognizing blitz. Must step into his throws more consistently to fully utilize his arm strength.

    Poor Keenan Allen... How bad do things have to be when your brother is listed as a weakness to your game?

    Weaknesses: Development as a receiver was held back, as his quarterback could only comfortably attack a few portions of the field.

    I'll add more as I go along reading more profiles.
