Wentz, sure. Dak Prescott?

Mississippi State ran a spread offense the entire he was there (and still does). He spent almost all of his time taking snaps from the shotgun.

Dan Mullen is an Urban Meyer disciple and one of the leading spread offense minds in football..

Generally, pro-style is better for development, but I think that's because it requires more complex reads more than the shotgun/under center thing.

If it's a complex passing offense that requires more intense reads, even a spread can adequately prepare a QB. The spread, by design, makes detailed reads unnecessary, though.

The original Erickson/Price spread is what the Patriots run basically. The Air Raid and Read Option take the original spreads concepts in creating one on one matchups and applying them to more passing or a QB option. The original spread is about 55-45 run to pass.
