Peyton Manning 1998 Draft Profile
 

Now this is funny !!!

Summary

Manning is probably the most prepared QB to enter the NFL draft in several years.. He has had a storybook college career, and has been in a top level program with excellent coaching, and he has maturity and great intangibles to go along with his natural skills.. He should be able to pick up the mental aspects of the game early on the NFL level, and should play very quickly. He has great overall field vision. He is a fierce competitor, and all of his mechanics are very solid. He has good arm strength, but not necessarily a “gun” that you might expect from a QB at the top of the draft.. He has adequate mobility and good overall AA, although he is not a scrambler by nature.

He has done an excellent job of getting the most out of his abilities, but he is not quite as natural a player as Leaf.



One question that some NFL scouts have is the question “will he get any better?”. At times he gives the appearance of being a self-made player, and sometimes those types of players don’t always go on to great NFL careers.

In Manning’s case, he may be a solid and productive NFL QB, but he may not have Hall of Fame type skills, but it certainly won’t be for lack of effort.. He has probably been the most scouted player in the draft in recent years, and because that NFL teams tend to look too much at potential flaws, instead of accepting him for what he is, a great college QB that is on his way to an outstanding NFL career.

Pretty spot on.

The funniest is part is that quote that Manning is not the natural player at the position that Leaf is lol

Nothing really wrong with that. Leaf was more of an athlete.

Leaf was also a gigantic ****ing head case.

That he was and still is lol

That was and I think is, true.

And a felon.. and a fugitive...
