The college season kicks off this afternoon at 3:30 with an FCS matchup between North Dakota State and Montana.
Chance to see Carson Wentz, ND State QB and a guy we could be talking about in the spring. I am looking forward to seeing what he has got today. ND State also has a lineman, OT Joe Haeg who is a pre-season All America and potential draft pick next year.
From cbssports.com:
Carson Wentz, QB, North Dakota State, Sr. (6-5, 231, 4.92)
The top FCS quarterback in the country, Wentz has the skill-set to potentially be one of the top-five senior quarterbacks in the 2016 class and mid-round draft pick. He checks a lot of boxes physically for scouts with NFL size, arm strength and just enough athleticism that translates to the pro game. In his first season as a starter in 2014, Wentz completed 63.7 percent of his passes with a 25-to-10 touchdown-to-interception ratio. But he often leads defenders to target with his eyes, predetermines his passes and throws without coming to balance on the move, forcing his accuracy to drop. Wentz has a number of bad habits that need ironed out, but he is in the Mike Glennon mold with skills worth developing.
Joe Haeg, OT, North Dakota State, Sr. (6-5, 300, 5.18)
A player with 45 starts already on his résumé, Haeg was the starting right tackle his first two seasons before moving to left tackle last season, replacing Billy Turner (Miami Dolphins 2014 third rounder). He is an athletic mover with a smooth lateral shuffle off the snap and the range to easily reach the perimeter, blocking outside the numbers and at the second level. Haeg has a bad habit of leaning and bending too much at the waist, but he recovers well to stay balanced and handle secondary moves by pass rushers. With improved hand technique and anchor strength, he has starting potential at the next level.
Anyone else going to be watching?
