We will see if he has the arm strength for the wide side out in that league. Still, if someone see something in him he could make a squad as the 3rd down QB, the guy who sneaks on 3rd and one. Because the “defence” has to line up one yard off of the ball, everyone goes on most 3rd and one situations. Many teams don’t want to risk the starter on those plays.
