Mason Rudolph had another very impressive showing last night going 25/38 for 335 3 TD's and 0 INT's against South Alabama. He also added a rushing TD for good measure as well. He completed passes to 8 different receivers in the game as well. His stats would've been even more impressive had his receiver not dropped a sure TD in the first quarter and there were a couple more drops in the game as well. The more I watch him, the more I see him as a franchise NFL QB. The accuracy and touch he puts on his passes is something this team has lacked for a long while. He scans the field quickly and never locks onto his receivers. I think he'll be one of the fastest risers in the draft by season's end. One of the most impressive things I saw from him last night wasn't even a completion. He was being rushed as two defenders burst over the line. He was able to avoid the first defender, but second one looked like he was gonna get to Rudolph. Right before being hit, the QB threw the ball off his back foot, as his body was twisting and he still had more than enough arm strength to throw the ball way out of bounds and avoid the sack. To me, that was an NFL throw. He was not only able to avoid a loss of yardage, but he didn't want to force the ball downfield and possibly cause an INT. Instead, he just took the loss of down, like any NFL QB should be taught to do. I was thoroughly impressed.

I can't wait to see some of the other QB prospects as well this weekend.
