Tommy Video

I am a little surprised that they do not seem to be selling him at all as a QB. He's not an NFL QB1 to be sure but he does have skills in that area (31 TDs, 2INT last year and nice touch on his deep throws. I could see him having a shot as a developmental QB.

By taking QB seemingly off the table, I think he's also resigning himself to being a UDFA. If he can run in the 4.3s or low 4.4s and put up other good testing numbers, I think he'll have an excellent shot to be on a practice squad next year-- or maybe even an active roster But I think he might have had his highest draft value as a QB3 type with the athleticism to move elsewhere if a team didn't like what they saw with him under center.

Tommy's path to getting drafted will lead through Pro Day and putting up good enough numbers there that at least one team isn't willing to let him get to the UDFA pool. I don't see the position really making too much of a difference there, as nobody will draft him with the primary intention of making him a QB.

Raiders have him projected as day 3UFDA third string quarterback with possibility to move up to a second quarterback or special teams

I'm still sticking with my prediction he'll end up working his way into either a starting WR or RB role some day, I'd lean towards a Christian McCaffrey type player.

I enjoy when people (even media folk) make a "pro-comp" for a college guy and immediately jump to a top 1% player... ...maybe he ends up being a "Christian McCaffrey type player"...even if Tommy ends up as a "Danny Woodhead type player" that is a damn fine NFL career...sometimes the perspective on what constitutes a "great" NFL career gets lost...personally, if you make it 3+ years and qualify for the NFL pension I consider it a great career...especially if you come from a more humble beginning.

Oh I agree with all of that. I just look at what Tommy can do and some of the things we've all seen him do throughout his career and he is something special. Then I hear people say he's not the right size, or durable enough to be an NFL RB... I think he's the same exact size as CM. I wouldn't bet against him. As Vigen said, "Tommy's different."
