DeAngelo Williams' Draft Status
Still waiting on word on DeA's decision on whether or not to enter the draft.
His QB Danny Wimprine is a senior and wont be back. The program has already taken a step forward this year and theres nothing to indicate that they will be better next year if DeAngelo goes back to school. Coach Tonny West is trying hard to convince him to stay for his senior year.
He broke his fibula in last week's bowl game, but it didn't look as serious as it was made outto be. As a matter of fact, he returned to to the game for a few runs until he shut it down. Probably more of a high ankle sprain than a broken fibula. I expect this scare and the fact that Memphis isn't going to get better to influence his decision. I think he will come out since he'd be the 3rd back off the board.
Lets hope he comes out. This is going to be one the best drafts in recent memory.

He has little arm, bad footwork, & no experience in a pro style offense. His accuracy is also aided by the fact that it's easier to read defenses from the shotgun. I too have a feeling that he's going to be this year's Philip Rivers in that someone is going to take him a round too high.
Oh you mean a guy who comes out with lots of potential then has a horrible qb of the past take his job and play terrific just like in san diego this year...sounds great!:shakeno: :shakeno: :shakeno:Becks7 said:
How can you say he has bad footwork? Footwork is made of two parts. How you set your feet and step into your throw and your dropback. His set and step are very good and he never dropsback.
As for his arm, it's nothing spectacular, but it's better than several NFL starting QBs.

Ding ding ding, he never dropsback consumates into bad footwork. Something he's gonna have to work hard at like Carr & Brees did when they came out.

Oh, come now. It would have been equally "stupid" to have projected that Brees would have had a year like this at the end of last season. But, he did. The history of the NFL is replete with stories of people who come out of "nowhere" to become stars. To be honest, it would probably take anyone coming out of college a lot longer to reach where AJ is now than most of the draft fantasizers on this board think. It would take Sage considerably less, but there is no guarantee that he would be any better, and could possibly be worse. No rookie QB whose last name is not Marino, or possibly Roethlisberger (though most of his 'success' is more a product of the team on which he plays than any individual quality he possesses.) So why don't we ease up on the hyperbole? It usually makes fools of us.
