NFL Combine

With the NFL scouting combine here coaches and the organizations get to do some more evaluation of soon to be NFL players.  Their are always many questions about the athletes at this time and that is no different this year.  While being extremely athletic some question if Robert Griffin III will have problems in the NFL because of his size.  From seeing him perform in college it sure seems like he has the athletic ability to over come any questions of his size.  Drew Brees who is similar in size has been one of the few smaller NFL quarterbacks to succeed in the league.  Robert Griffin has more athletic ability than Drew Brees although it has been said that Drew Brees is more athletic than people think.  Just because you are athletic does not mean you will be successful in the league.  Look at Vince Young one of the best scrambling quarterbacks in college and the best in his draft class has found very little success in the NFL.  But there have also been quarterbacks with success such as Cam Newton who has only been in the league for one year but shows a lot of promise. While everyone expects that Griffin goes early in the first round after Andrew Luck will he have the success and the tools to be a big name quarterback in the NFL.
