But he literally has the best arm in this draft class.
If he can be coddled along to not meltdown and make better decisions, he has great potential.

What makes me the most excited about him is that the majority of 2014 draft projections (when he was actually projected to not declare for draft until next season) that I read had him listed as a projected top 5 overall pick with an excerpt clarifying "top 5 pick IF he shows that he can display maturity." Many of these had him #1 overall....in a QB class that is presumably considered stronger than this year's QB class.
There is at the least, a glimmer of hope here. I don't care what anyone says.
