I have only heard Geno talk in interviews from the press, but he comes across both motivated and intelligent. Both those things aren't something to overlook for a kid still in college. I think those may help him the most in the time leading up to the draft.

Definitely. The leadership IMo, comes with wins + ability to be a leader. Tebow for example, isn't a good leader if they consistently get skull****ed.
To diverge for a minute, the reason Tom IMO is such a solid leader is because A) His personality B) The fact he was drafted late and carries to this day such a large chip on his shoulder and C) his results. To me, without his results, his teammates would tune him out. With the addition of all 3, you have a QB who can inspire players and get them to perform when it isn't expected of them.
With Geno, I definitely think he has A. I think he's still going to carry a chip on his shoulder because most people think he is unworthy. The 3rd is going to be obvious. Either Geno produces, or he doesn't. By all accounts, people liked Cassel in the locker room. When they knew he couldn't come from behind or beat competent teams, the others deflated to an extent.
