TOBY KORRODI
Quarterback
Central Missouri State University Mules

ive seen him listed as the big sleeper possibility for this year.

just wanted to know if he is worth a 7th round flier in case our top choice doesnt work out.

heres some info ive found on him

SLEEPER: Central Missouri’s Toby Korrodi made a big splash at the scouting combine and has visited six teams.


One quarterback who really helped himself Sunday was Toby Korrodi of Central Missouri State. Korrodi was surprisingly accurate throughout the session and his arm strength was the most impressive of all the passers tested. Not only did Korrodi lead the quarterbacks statistically with his passes being clocked at 63 mph, some of the passes he didn't connect on simply were dropped by receivers surprised by the velocity of the throws.



Toby Korrodi Toby Korrodi

Overview and Analysis
Korrodi has the size scouts are looking for in a QB he has the arm
strength to go along with it. He might be the biggest sleeper among
quarterbacks this season. Most do not know about him because he
transferred from Northern State and he has never been an All-American at
the D2 level. He is actually married and has three children. He has two
sons and a daughter. Korrodi is a real family man who is very mature for
an incoming rookie. He will intrigue pro personnel directors and
all-star game selection committees with his size, production, and arm
strength. He is not very fast so teams like Atlanta who are looking for
a mobile quarterback will probably not rank him as a draftable player.
He is expected to be a pure drop back passer and not a dual threat.
Expect Korrodi to possibly surprise and not only earn a combine invite
but also hear his name called in the late rounds (6th-7th).

To have any kind of success in the NFL, it’s said that small-college quarterbacks must dominate at their level. That certainly was the case with Toby Korrodi of Central Missouri State.

After transferring from Northern (S.D.) State, Korrodi completed 69 percent of his passes for 52 TDs and just 7 interceptions in two seasons with the Mules. That kind of production, even at the Division II level, was good enough to earn Korrodi an invitation to the NFL Scouting Combine.

At the combine, Korrodi opened eyes by getting clocked at 63 miles per hour, the best velocity of any QB who threw in Indy. He’s 6-3, 234 pounds and a lefthander, and could be a late-round pick. Korrodi could use the job. He married his high school sweetheart and has three sons.

yeah i heard that he mite be a sleeper but thats it.didnt really know anything about him before i read this topic
 
Yeah... I saw his combine numbers. I can't find any video on the guy, but he sounds like a statue that can throw the ball a mile. The scouts also question his work ethic and smarts. It's REALLY hard to tell with these small school players.

Sounds like a guy who will most likely spend 2-4 years as a #3/#2 after a couple of years in NFL Europe... a major project... but, I'd be willing to take a late chance on him, depending upon who else is left in the seventh. I'd sure have a chat with him first.
 
Yeah, didn't Phil Simms say something real positive about him the other day?

Edit: This is what he said in a Sun-Sentinel blog:

"This kid from SW Missouri State, Korrodi. He was born to throw the football. It's just too big of a jump..."

I still think it's a positive comment. He has potential. Maybe if he sits and learns for a few years from a real good QB coach, he could make it.
 
I just heard he threw the ball harder than anyone else....we have three 7th round picks...I think he would be worth a look. You never know.
 
And he's a lefty---that may help us out with the whole left tackle problem...He could be worth a 7th just for that, but I wouldn't invest anything earlier...
