He comes from a military family, both parents are career Air Force. Born in Japan, they moved back to the US and settled in Texas. RGiii graduated highschool early, 5th in his class. At 17, he then started college early, has since graduated, and is now working on his Masters degree. Add that to the extensive playing experience he has and taking the leadership role of starting QB of that team at such a young age. He has a very very strong arm, Vick like, is very accurate, and makes good decisions.

To me, his only red flag is the fact that he's running QB, which I usually don't like. This guy though, has a good head on his shoulders and should be smart enough not to run too much, or depend on his athleticism so much that he neglects to learn his job ala Vick.

I'm all for him. If it ain't a QB in round 1, NT, ILB, and OL would be the only real justifiable pickups. I'd still be pissed though. This team needs a QB WAY too much.

From what I've seen of RGIII he is always looking downfield after breaking the pocket before electing to run. I think this kid has the goods. I wish I could see more snaps where he has to go through progressions and read defenses however.
