Stanford QB Trent Edwards

 

 

Stanford QB Trent Edwards, a War Room Report favorite, had a solid workout for scouts on March 20th, reports Gil Brandt of NFL.com. Edwards was one of the top HS QB prospects, but struggled behind lackluster coaching, poor talent around him, and injuries at Stanford.

Edwards, who could be as high as the 3rd QB taken, completed 57 of the 60 passes he attempted. Several high profile offensive coordinators and quarterback coaches were in attendance. Edwards had a solid junior season playing for Stanford, throwing 17 TDs with a 63% completion rate. Edwards has all of the tools and the necessary size to become a solid NFL QB with the right coaching.

    Just out of curiosity….what are Edwards’ career statistics and record while at Stanford?

    Dizzle, his stats weren’t good and his record even worse. Here’s a link:

    (Although, I think you knew the answer when you asked that.)

    I agree that Edwards is a very risky pick and if he goes as the 3rd QB overall, then that team will have made a big error.

    Are they any historical parallels of players with lousy collegiate careers doing well in the NFL?

    Dizzle and I have had this arguement before. Dizzle stated that almost all of the good NFL QBs either put up big numbers or were on successful teams in college.

    About the only starter in the NFL I can find that fails this test is Matt Hasselback.

    A few others, like Brad Johnson and Tom Brady, never really played in college.

    There are several comps to Edwards that struggled in the NFL. Brock Huard is the closest to Edwards that I see.

    “The covariate with highest inclusion probability (0.63) is college winning percentage. Of the covariates considered here, no measure of individual collegiate achievement predicts NFL success; only a track record of leading a team to success suggests a college player will make a solid professional quarterback.”
