2010 NFL Draft: John Skelton Heads To Arizona

Fordham QB John Skelton has been called a sleeper by a lot of the draftniks out there. He was eventually drafted by the Cardinals in the 5th round.

SB Nation’s Revenge of the Birds has the skinny on him:

Skelton has a cannon for an arm, able to launch passes down field that don’t hang in the air. He has prototypical size for a quarterback(6’6, 243 lbs) and actually displays some quickness, able to throw efficiently on the run or pick up extra yardage himself. He leads his receivers well and provides them plenty of room when throwing the deep ball. He stands confident in the pocket and can make several reads before settling for the check down pass. He was a quiet leader in college but will be vocal on the football field, showing he has the skills to be an NFL quarterback.

Read the full reaction from Revenge of the Birds.
