I saw a bit of T.J. Yates his Sophomore year because I loved Hakeem Nicks and I thought Yates was all right but nothing special. The game he played against LSU at the beginning of the year this year really caught my attention but the throws that he made against Florida State really got me thinking that Yates could be an NFL QB.
Then CK said that the scouts weren't really paying attention to him and I can't believe it!!! Watch some of the throws he makes in the FSU game especially the one at the 2:39 mark in the 1st quarter:

The ball travels 55 yards through the air and lands right in Dwight Jones' hands with him in full stride. The pocket presence that he shows is the most impressive part of the play though. He steps up with the pressure coming up field and delivers a laser guided bomb.
Check out the rest of his highlights from this season, granted these are highlights:

He might end up being the steal of the draft.
