Tony Barnhart of the Atlanta-Journal Constitution writes today that Chris Leak is the best pro prospect in the SEC.
Now, I assume he means that Leak is the best pro prospect at his position.
Still, I would have to disagree with that conclusion. Leak is a very good college quarterback, but it’s rare for a guy of his stature–5-11 1/2, 200 pounds–to do well in the NFL at quarterback.
I think the best SEC quarterback prospect eligible for this draft would have to be JaMarcus Russell of LSU. Granted, he’s a bit inconsistent, but he’s got tremendous upside and physically he looks like another Daunte Culpepper.
Barnhart tabs Georgia’s Matt Stafford as the best prospect three years from now, but I think Tim Tebow of Florida will be that guy.
