Malik w/impressive 32 on Wonderlic. Brady Was 33. NFL QB average is only 24. His stock is soaring right now.

To second what everyone else is saying, what an amazing representative for the school and Christianity as a whole. I pray for this kid to stay home he is right now. He has the attitude and platform now. He can make such a huge impact if he stays on course (hard for star athletes for sure).
I was watching Malik throw the deep ball at the combine and the fans cheering him on, and I kind of said to myself, "He's better than the other QBs at practically everything". My wife was actually listening apparently and kind of mock me and asked, "Are you having a proud papa moment?".
I was like, no... I'm not that old...am I?

Add to it his top-flight mental toughness & his relentless determination to win. Character is also off the charts. What's a fair comparison? You have to go back in time to find a guy. Elway mostly? Staubach to a degree? Not sure if anyone else immediately comes to mind with these combinations.Staubach is an interesting comparison. I have heard some things about Elway that might cost him some points in the "character" department.

The video of him helping a homeless fella (which I haven’t seen) put some co-hosts over the top!You can't tell from the video, but based on an interview he did later, it was actually a "gal", and she was not only homeless, but pregnant.

Had he been at a P5 with a compliment of elite WR there would be no question about his draft stockNot many qb’s look good once they start getting sacked and lose confidence in OL. Some of it was on him, but OL and RTB pass blocking was terrible compared to year prior.
