Matt Flynn

[highschoolcoach]

LSU quarterback Matt Flynn threw 4 TD passes and was awarded the Offensive Player of the Game Award in LSU's BCS championship game win. Will he get the same hype and credit as the great JaMarcus Russell or does he lack the elite athleticism due to his lack of African ancestry?

Hmmm. In "An early mock draft" in the Jan. 14, 2008 edition of Sporting News (p. 39), Matt Flynn is not projected as a 1st round pick. This is only an article in TSN, but . . . Hey, JaMarcus Russell was the the 1st overall draft pick. Why isn't Flynn a first-rounder?

 

[reclaimsocal]

Flynn is generally considered to be in the 10-13ish ranking for QB's at this point. Meaning he is in the 6-7 round or undrafted FA range.


Basically, it means if he wants to get the same opportunity to have NFL success as JaMarcus Russell, he needs to carry a clipboard for 2-4 years and hope that whomever is ahead of him on the depth chart gets injured allowing him a Sunday audition.

Flynn does run a 4.4 forty so their is always a chance he could get drafted as a WR.
