As the NFL draft approaches (5 weeks to be exact) there has been lost of discussion about who will go first this year. Heisman trophy winner Robert Griffin III (RGIII) and runner up Andrew Luck are the biggest stories this year.
I wasn't able to follow them both through out the entire season, mostly because of coverage, but I was able to catch a few Stanford and Baylor games. I have to admit I was disappointed by Andrew Luck. Maybe it was because I saw Stanford's game vs. Oregon but to me that was his time to shine. He was uneasy and rattled the entire game. I was unimpressed to say the least. Not to take away from Luck in any way!! The boy is BAD!!! I just wasn't really excited about what he did.
Now for RGIII. I was unaware of this young man from the beginning. I'm very sad to admit this, because once I saw him play, I was thoroughly impressed!! He was smart and accurate. His moves were intentional and he was exciting to watch. I may be partially biased because I'm a fan of mobile quarterbacks. Which isn't always what wins in the NFL but can cause defenses a lot of trouble. Luck is also an athletic quarterback but there was just something about RGIII that was almost breathtaking. Okay, so breathtaking may be a little dramatic but he was fun to watch!! There is really no other way to say it.
Much debate has been made about which one of them will go first and head to Indiana. Most analysts believe that Luck will be the #1 pick in the draft. And I'm not going to argue that Luck and the Colts would be a great fit! But there is something special in RGIII and I think he will be a surprise to many people (just like Cam Newton.)
