Crompton in the NFL?

That would be great if he gets his chance. Also, anybody notice Peyton throwing perfect spirals this year? Thought it was weird to see. He's always had a duck dart.

I don't get how some of you are so sure he won't get drafted. Being picked in the 6th-7th rounds isn't some amazing accomplishment. College accolades don't always mean as much as measurables or physical ability when it comes to the draft. Look at Matt Cassell.

This, and also, listening to Jon Mclain on 104.5 yesterday on the radio, the interview process pulls a lot of weight. Crompton will most likely interview well, even though he is a little goofy, he is pretty relaxed and calm in the spot light. Wow I can't believe I just said that about Crompton, what an amazing turnaround.

I don't think he's the physical specimen that many of you believe he is. His arm strength is adequate but not spectacular. However, he has poor accuracy on the deep ball and no touch. For all the discussion on this board about what a great scrambler Crompton is, he also isn't a great runner. He can scramble to throw, but he isn't a great runner. He doesn't has sub-par accuracy from the pocket, and that will hurt him badly. Also, for someone his height, he has a lot of passes batted down at the line. Part of that is on the offensive line, but it seems to me that Crompton also has an abnormally low release point.

I don't see Crompton impressing anybody in the interviews, and I think that he'll impress them even less on the Wonderlic test.

I completely disagree with this post and the one before, except for the wonderlic test. He may not grade well on that.

So, just where are all these tremendous Crompton interviews that I've somehow managed to miss? I'd just love to see them.

Doesn't take a great physical specimen to be drafted in the late rounds. No team drafts a QB after round 3 expecting them to be a starter. His arm could be solid enough for a team to take a chance on him for a backup position or at least practice squad, which is what the late rounds are for.

Wow, did I say anything about there being hours of "tremendous" interviews available for the public to view at their own leisure? IMO, his demeanor comes across as relaxed and confident now, as opposed to before, during his conferences or press statements. I think that will carry over into the interview process. JMHO though.

I don't think he'll get drafted. He has the physical tools, for sure, but I just don't see a team overlooking all but the last 7 games of the guy's career.

I think he'll certainly make it into a camp and maybe even a practice squad just because the scouts will drool over his fastball, but I don't see him having a long career in the NFL.

1/2 of the field doesn't work so well at the next level.

The pros seem to have very short memories. Seven games might just be enough to wet their whistle. The NFL Combine will probably decide it for any team that is interested. Enough QB's with 2, 3 and 4 years of college experience have busted in the NFL so I don't think lack of college experience or success will keep him from being successful in the NFL. Good Post!

The only teams that are using the late rounds to find people for their practice squad are the cellar dwellers. Good teams fill their practice squads with undrafted free agents.

Kirk Herbstreet discussed on ESPN yesterday that he thought that the University of Washington quarterback made a great call by staying in school for his final year. The guy had actually contacted Herbstreet to ask his opinion too. Herbstreet said that he and Troy Aikman had recently discussed the fact that there is not a single established franchise quarterback in the NFL right now that didn't stay in school for four years. I would say that a lack of college experience does matter.

Yeah my bad. I forgot the good teams are drafting superior physical specimens at QB in the late rounds.

I almost reworded that when I wrote it but didn't think it really mattered, but apparently it did. How many QBs in the last 2 rds are on the roster after 1-2 yrs or even get playing time before then?

That's interesting and all but we're talking about him being drafted, not starting. Completely different things. Also, Crompton has experience and had success late in his career. And again, Matt Cassell...

So 5 years should work in Crompton's favor.

Whether he makes it in the NFL or not, I am still proud of how he handled himself and for turning the corner.

i think he will go between rounds 5-7 or as a free agent.

in the right system i would believe he will be a very serviceable backup for many years.

I think that the fact that people are actually debating whether Crompton will or won't get drafted signifies a major accomplishment. Before this season, and during the early part of this season, there were concerns whether he could even cut his own meat at the dinner table. My prediction: Drafted or no, someone will give him a shot. I think the Kiffins might even call in a favor or two to get him in a camp somewhere, if need be.

I believe the combine has become more important to scouts than game tape. If crompton competes at the combine against clausen, bradford, tebow, and mccoy i bet crompton finishes in the top 3 in all categories.

He can make every throw and with kiffin pushing him to scouts, i guarantee he is drafted in the 3rd round.

I bet his pro day is unbelievable. 95% rollouts

He'll get his chance by way of draft or free agent. I hope he makes the best of it and shows what he is really capable of. Best of luck J. Crompton thanks for stickin it out.

GO VOLS!!!!

Everyone keeps talking about how he looked horrible before Kiffin came in. He looked horrible with Clawson as the OC. He didn't look that bad before Clawson though. I think last year really took a toll on the kid. Pro scouts look at a lot more factors than just one bad season. I dont think he will be an early pick , but I do think he could be drafted as a back up. Who knows he could get his shot. I mean look at Atlanta. JPW has a shot to be the starter if Redman goes down. Would anyone have ever thought he would have a shot at starting in the pro's?
