Just wondering what those of you that are more in the know think about his chances at an NFL career, if he might be drafted after the broken leg or will be an undrafted FA, etc.
Being a Spokane native, I am always interested in guys from my hometown.

His injury will likely keep him out of WSU's pro day and the combine. Someone may take a chance on him late in the draft, but my guess will be he gets camp invites as an UDFA. I think he has a better chance at cracking a 2 deep than Jeff Tuel did, and Tuel even managed to start an NFL game at one point (with a few people ahead of him getting hurt.)

That said, I don't know that he has what it takes mentally to be an NFL QB long term. But he will get a chance.

EDIT: Apparently I was wrong about the recovery time frame for his injury. In this interview, he says he will be able to participate in Pro Day, etc:
