Luck vs RGIII

The two top picks in this coming April's NFL draft took part in the NFL combine this past weekend.  Neither of the quarterback's took part in the throwing drills but both did do the 40 yard dash, broad jump, and vertical jump.  Robert Griffin III ran the fastest 40 for a quarterback (4.41) since Mike Vick ran his astounding 4.33.  Did RGIII's efforts this weekend put him in the position to be the number one overall pick come April?  I don't believe so.    Luck showed off his athleticism this past weekend leaving him as the projected number one overall pick.  Here are some numbers to think about:

Luck                            Cam Newton (Last years NFL rookie of the year)

40 yrd dash       4.59                                 4.59
vertical jump       36'                                   35'
broad jump       10ft 4in                            10ft 6in

As you can see, the numbers are merely identical.  Look for Luck to be the number one pick come April in the pass heavy National Football League.

*Note:  Both Luck and RGIII still have their pro-days ahead where they will workout again for NFL teams, and will both take part in throwing drills.  Nothing is final til draft day, keep an eye on RGIII as he could change some minds come pro-day
