Mike Mayock: "QB Wentz has Andrew Luck potential"

[BLAZO da GAWD]

NFL Media draft expert Mike Mayock says North Dakota State QB Carson Wentz shares Andrew Luck's ceiling.

"When I look at him, I see a kid that's as athletic or more athletic than Andrew Luck," Mayock said. "He's bigger than Andrew Luck. He's got arm strength comparable to Andrew Luck," Mayock said on Tuesday. "He just doesn't have the experience that Andrew Luck had at a high level coming out of college. So I see a ceiling for this kid similar to Andrew Luck. That's why I believe in this kid so much, but it's going to take a little bit of time." Luck, who went No. 1 to the Colts in 2012 and arrived with more polish, passed for 4,374 yards as a rookie. Mayock added that Wentz has drawn praise from scouts for his intangibles. "His character apparently is off the charts, that's what I was told by everybody surrounding the Senior Bowl that had anything to do with him. Smart, tough, loves the game," Mayock said. Wentz is expected to post "Luck/Newton type Combine numbers" later this week in Indy, according to former NFL scout Matt Williamson.

Who is this cac? Why didn't I hear his name at all during the season, but now he's getting praises like being compared to Luck?

Coli brehs, is this kid the real deal?

Here we go with this shyt. Some dumb ass team is going to get sucked into the hype and reach extra high for one of these QB's. It's like the league will not be complete if a QB is not picked 1st overall. They have to anoint someone.

Last time I checked, Andrew Luck was one of the worst rated QB's in the league and is a pick machine.

i cant remember where i read it (may have been deadspin) but they pointed out that stuff like this happens.

Does this mean that he'll be a turnover machine who pads his stats against weak divisional opponents and looks awful in the playoffs?

More than RG3 and Cousins u hoe

Wentz is Overrated as fukk imo. And iI'm not a fan of his arm. But I hate Luck's arm as well

Both of them have fully functioning kidneys. Can't say the same for your boy who didn't like sliding which got him fukked up.

And weren't you just saying Luck was the most overrated player in the league?
