The difference, I think, is that he's coming out with a Tom Brady-esque chip on his shoulder. Nobody's putting him on the pedestal along with all the other QB's in this draft class. Most of them (probably 3) will go first. And from what I've seen of him and heard from him, he seems like a 'well **** you, I'll ****ing show you I belong' type of guy.
Which is good for a QB. I don't know, it's just a gut feeling that THAT kid has IT.
