QB battle

I won’t be surprised if Svoboda makes an NFL practice squad.

Not as a QB though!

I think if he sees the field on offense in the NFL it will be lining up at the QB position! (Tush push specialist)

It is wild to me that a dude with a college football history like his is even getting a look for the NFL.

He began his career at a JUCO in which he never saw the field. Then he came to UW where he basically sat for two seasons before having one of the worst seasons at QB that I have ever witnessed. Then he switched position to TE where he caught a total of 11 passes for 92 yards for the entire season.

And yet here he is getting called in for a workout with the Denver Broncos this week. Based on what? His size and athleticism? There are probably 3-4 guys at my local gym who fit this mold if NFL teams are really that desperate. I just don't get it.

I won’t be surprised if Svoboda makes an NFL practice squad. But clearly Sawvel is not the guy to be identifying QB talent.

I don't see any advantage Svoboda would be to an NFL team. Please give me your thoughts. I think the old bald coach may call some teams and offer a glowing opinion, but videos of his performance won't pass an eye test. IMO

I agree with you on this, but the Denver Broncos have called him for a workout this week. Apparently, his athleticism combined with his size is enough to entice NFL teams to think he could be a benefit?
