Former Penn State players QB Anthony Morelli and RB Austin Scott have both signed NFL contacts with Arizona and Cleveland, respectively. Said one NFL scout about Morelli:

“He has all the tools you look for in a QB; an athletic body, very strong throwing arm and far better movement then I had expected, but is acutely under coached and unprepared for the job of being a professional QB.

Has a violent overhand delivery and when he’s on his game has as much ability as anyone in the draft. Can make all the throws; out, dig, fade and comeback. Going to have to start from square one with this player, but has a big upside.”

Emphasis added, but let’s not let Morelli off the hook; he never had the head for a major college quarterback. Sure, having Jay Paterno (hero of the 1989 Blue White Game1!!1!) coach him did not help but still…

Scott on the other hand, apparently never had the sleeping patterns of successful collegiate running backs. He may have had charges dropped against him, but he’s still stupid and a major disappointment.

These two guys are why I don’t get worked up about recruiting. Remember how great they were supposed to be at State?

H/T to Run Up the Score!, even though he is on notice.
