Oh I think he could do some damage in an RPO attack.

Oh I think he could do some damage in an RPO attack.

I honestly believe his arm strength would force a move to TE/WR hybrid as a Freshman especially if he can’t beat out Coley for 3rd string.

[SwineFusion]

Matt’s arm was plenty strong.

[southpaw]

He still UA’s career leader in Total Offense.

[oklahawg]

Longest throwing motion for a UA QB that I recall. If he had time to crank it up he could find his targets.

[SwineFusion]

Matt could have used some coaching on throwing technique.

[Dejai9]

He’d play the same position that he was drafted to play in the NFL, WR.

It depends on if he acted the same way or not. His reported demeanor would see him warm the bench at all positions, if the stories are true. Lack of work ethic and focus was his undoing at QB. That said, he was a phenomenal athlete and was a true highlight reel and freakshow! What he could have been with a laser focus…wow.
