Arkansas' Ryan Mallett headed to draft
Arkansas Razorbacks quarterback Ryan Mallett is headed to the 2011 NFL Draft. He became only the fourth SEC player to pass for 3,000+ yards and 30+ touchdowns in consecutive seasons. "Ever since I was a kid, my dream has always been to play for the Razorbacks, and I am thankful I had the opportunity to do so," Mallett said. "A year ago, when I returned to school, I said I wanted to help lead this team to a place among the nation's elite and for the Razorback community to have a mindset to expect greatness. There is no doubt we got there together, and this program will continue to play games on the biggest stages, and when it does, we'll come out swinging.
Fantasy Analysis:
With Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck deciding to return to school, it's a fight for who is the top quarterback selection in this draft. Mallett surely has a chance to be that player. He possesses NFL-ready size at 6'6" and 238 pounds. Mallett also has plenty of experience, tons of production and a cannon for an arm to go along with it. He is Drew Bledsoe reincarnate. Mallett will be competing with Cam Newton of Auburn and Missouri's Blaine Gabbert for the top quarterback in the draft at least for the time being.
