Uh . . .

NFL.com media analyst Charles Davis said that the question of whether UCLA redshirt junior QB Brett Hundley should declare for the draft is "worth serious consideration."
Hundley recently made waves by saying that the pressure of impressing draft scouts was weighing on his mind and might have affected his player earlier in the season. Davis speculated that part of Hundley's issues might have stemmed from his fear of being labeled as a "running quarterback." Davis then brought up the example of Geno Smith, saying that "when [Smith] was entering the NFL in 2013...he firmly believed he could best beat defenses from the pocket with his arm and mind" and wanted to prove he didn't rely solely on his legs for success. We just don't see him coming back for his senior year,though. At this point, it's still almost a certainty that this will be Hundley's last season with the Bruins. Nov 5 - 6:04 PM

UCLA redshirt junior QB Brett Hundley admitted to altering his play early in the season "because of pressure to improve as a passer" for NFL evaluators.
In the win against Arizona, Hundley decided to drop his eyes even more frequently and leave the pocket quickly to pick up yards with his feet. Earlier in the season he would attempt to handle pressure in the pocket and find receivers open downfield. Consistently dropping your eyes and picking up yards on the ground works at the college level, but in order for a quarterback to sustain success in the NFL, they must win from the pocket against pressure. Hundley has not shown this on a week to week basis. Nov 3 - 10:22 AM

UCLA redshirt junior QB Brett Hundley completed 19 of 26 attempts for 189 yards and one touchdown in the school's 17-7 win over Arizona.
Hundley did most of his damage on the ground, rushing for 131 yards on 24 carries. In fact, the quarterback commented that he was too focused on winning from the pocket early in the season to improve his NFL evaluation. That did not work, so now he has reverted back to picking up yards with his feet. In many cases, it can be a positive at the college level. But for his development in terms of eye level against pressure, it will not help. Nov 2 - 9:45 AM

For some reason, that doesn't exactly inspire confidence in anyone that Hundley can play QB at a high level in the NFL.
