Some teams don't really like George. As of now I would doubt he is getting drafted but I think he will get a free agent shot.

Teams want to see him at WR and QB.

AE isn't comparable to Landers. AE will be close to throwing the ball more this year than Landers did his whole career.

The advent of the Wildcat offense will assist AE's NFL prospects IMO... :twocents:

I'm sure there are some teams out there that don't want the hassle of "developing" a 27-yrs old QB, from an FCS program, but as far as tools are concerned, you'd be hard-pressed to find many better, especially down in the draft. There's not a throw he can't make and I've watched him develop as a passer over the last four years...his accuracy and ability to read coverages has improved tremendously ( as it should) and he's plenty mobile for a 6-6 guy...he does have a tendency to throw off his back foot and relies on his arm too much at times, but I've seen many FBS QBs in person over the years who have gone in the first couple of rounds and he fits right in there with all of them physically...whether he's drafted or not, he'll turn heads during his pre-draft workouts and whoever signs him as a FA will feel they got a major steal.
