Yeah, I think it was his 1st game and they showed his mom and dad in the stands.Johnson is the son of Pro Bowl and Super Bowl quarterback Brad Johnson and the nephew of former Georgia and Miami head coach Mark Richt.[13][14]

The kid is remarkable, not only does he inspire and lead, but he also does whatever it is he needs to do to try and win the football game. If I were a GM as much as I love the kid, I would pass on drafting Corral because of the injury issues. I think he has a couple of previous knee injuries to go with his high ankle sprain. Lucky it was not a compound fracture. IMO these injuries will only become worse and more frequent because of the way he plays. I wish him the best of luck and do look forward to watching him play on Sunday's. Will his new team put the brakes on him, and will he be as effective if they do? IMO, I think Ole Miss wins the game if he doesn't get hurt.Ole Miss QB and 2022 NFL draft prospect Matt Corral carted off field after right leg injury in Sugar Bowl

What value would you Guys assign to a premium career back-up QB (showcases excellent leadership and aptitude for position, but limited due to injury concerns)?
Mariota looks to be a younger version of Tyrod Taylor and for some reason Rosen never panned out. I thought Rosen was going to be pretty good coming out of college but he hasn't.I’d like to see the Texans kick the tires on Marcus Mariota and/or Josh Rosen. Either option would be affordable and could easily serve as insurance for Mills.
Scouts have been watching this kid for a couple of years. They may already have him a round higher than the mediaWhen the scouts see the ball come out of Willis hand, he's going to move up a round. Especially a team that has a older vet or wants competition with a young guy.
True. In Kipers 1st mock, he went to Falcons in the 1st rd. Posters always speak of a weak qb class, but every year we see guys qbs get drafted high 1st rd who some thought were 2nd rd picks. Especially guys from small schools. Willis has by far the best arm in the draft. The ball explodes out his hand and he can throw from different angles and platforms. He needs seasoning because at times he just relies on his arm and not his fundamentals.Scouts have been watching this kid for a couple of years.

Joe Flacco didn't play at Pitt and went to Delaware . Josh Allen is the case study. I'm sure nobody was overwhelmed by him after his Jr year, but he went 6th. Its about skill level and attributes. Thats not to say every qb will make that ascension, but teams roll the dice on qbs in the 1st rd because they get that 5 ft year….until GM’s see that defensive backs were also very successful at seeing the ball come out of Willis’ hand as well. He was moderately successful at Liberty while being a wash out at Auburn. I think selecting Willis any sooner than RD4 is going to be eyebrow raising.

Josh Allen's trajectory has been amazing. The tools were always there. His growth after Ken Dorsey showed up is noteworthy. Dorsey's work with Allen, and Cam Newton before that, should put teams on notice.That’s b/c Allen had a very good or coming out party in his 2016 Sophomore season at Wyoming. Bought him some lead way for his 2017 season.
But he did have a trash Jr year. Willis did have a better 1st year at Liberty vs 2nd yr. Either way, nobody expected him to be that high of a pick regardless. Its the physical tools thats attractive just like Wilson and Lance from last season.That’s b/c Allen had a very good or coming out party in his 2016 Sophomore season at Wyoming.

Probably too smart for that.Heck, maybe Dorsey can become the next HC of the Texans.
That’s the guy we need.
Willis was playing glorified high school teams too.Notice how Allen cut down on his ints his last yr and how Willis Ints rose his last yr. Plus Willis was working in an easy read Hugh Freeze offense.
Like I said, Willis has talent but has alot of work to do.
You know how the qb game works. You're looking for top flight talent or a brain like Peyton. Allen threw for under 2000 yds, 16 and 6 as a Jr. Willis threw for 27 and 12 and almost 3000 yds last yr. All I'm saying is his arm talent is better than anyone in this draft by far. If you watch that video break down by O'Sullivan, he points out some of his flaws of pocket drifting and setup. His release and his ability to threaten every blade of grass on the field exceeds all of the qbs coming out and all the guys last year except Lawrence, Wilson,and Lance. Good qb coaching can clean that up, but from a sheer talent point and throwing the football with power and touch, he has it. The added bonus is his legs too. You have him at 44, but he's probably going to be mid 1st rd after the senior bowl practices.I've got him as my #44 prospect.
Middle of the 2nd rd is about right for such a raw prospect.
He certainly needs to improve on reducing turnovers and improve his accuracy and anticipation. He's got a big arm though and is worth taking the time to try to develop. However I wouldn't count on him becoming a franchise QB.

You're entitled to your opinionI would argue Strong has the best arm in this draft.

See this?I would argue Strong has the best arm in this draft.
Said Malik Willis' agent.Just heard on 610 that, following his combine performance, Malik Willis is shooting up boards and is now being looked at as a top 5 pick, with the Panthers looking at him with the Texans #3 pick.
Tis the season for agents to pay for internet articles.See this?
Actually, I mis-wrote. The radio talk was about Willis rising up the charts and being considered a top 5 by some clubs, with the Panthers having him at #3 on their board, not that they were pursuing a trade with the Texans. I heard no explanation from where this info may have come. Obviously, would have had to be someone familiar with the Panthers' war room.Said Malik Willis' agent.
BTW, the Panthers don't have a 2nd or 3rd round pick to trade with.
I'd take 1st, 2nds and 3rds in 2023 and 2024Said Malik Willis' agent.

I think people are underselling Pickett. He's older, but he can play and is more athletic than people give him credit for.I'm going with Pickett at no. 13
This is the last of a 5-pt series.
This is Pickett as a true freshman vs. Unbeaten 10-0 Miami (2nd ranked) while Pitts was 4-7.
This was his Pro Day.
Would have liked a bigger hand size, but heck, he played at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh, so the concern is lessen.
The Panthers haven't had much talent on the offensive side the last few years.

They were predicted to be in the lower half of their conference every year.
I hope a bidding war startsI think people are underselling Pickett. He's older, but he can play and is more athletic than people give him credit for.
There's not much game tape on Willis to properly judge him.I hope a bidding war starts
Do you like Pickett more than Willis?
There's not much game tape on Willis to properly judge him.
He runs around a bit too much at that level of competition.
If you don't like Watson's style of play, how can you want him as your QB?
With Pickett, there's plenty of tapes where you can view the whole field so you can tell what/how he saw/read the defense.
If you like Peterman, why wouldn't you want Pickett as your QB?
You know that answerI hope a bidding war starts
Do you like Pickett more than Willis?
You know that answer
I see that only Willis and Strong were the only two QBs invited to day 1 at the draft.I hope a bidding war starts
Do you like Pickett more than Willis?
Only Willis and Corral will be at the draft. Don't know if Pickett was invited and declined.I see that only Willis and Strong were the only two QBs invited to day 1 at the draft.
Based on what?I like Mills more than Pickett as a potential franchise QB.
I expect Corral to go to Seattle at #9, just not sure if they move up to make sure that will happen.I hope a bidding war starts
