| Summary
He was not even considered a prospect entering his senior year, but his production and leadership was so solid in 1997 that he has emerged as a legitimate NFL candidate. He has had an up and down career for the Wolverines, playing a lot in 1995 and then sitting on the bench for most of the 1996 season. However, he had a breakout year in 1997 in Michigan's conservative offense. He has a great football history and tremendous knowledge of the game, which would be expected from having a dad like former NFL great Bob Greise. He has great intangibles and understands the game and knows how to move the offense. He has adequate arm strength, but knows how to get the ball to his receivers and he can look off to secondary receivers and can find the open man. He is very cool under pressure and has played well in big games. He is a good ball handler and he can make adjustments at the LOS. He is not a real gifted athlete and he does not have great velocity on his throws, but he seems to move around okay in the pocket and get the job done. He is not what NFL teams are looking for physically, but he is so efficient and smart that he may very well make an NFL team as a backup. If he continues to develop, he is a guy that teams would feel very comfortable about in a backup role. He may never develop into a starter, but there are a lot of things to like about this guy.
