ESPN The Magazine's NFL Draft Issue Features QB Jake Locker on the Cover
NEW YORK - (BUSINESS WIRE) - After three days and about 250 draftees, the NFL draft will be completed
and fans and media will have many of their questions answered. One of
those questions: Which round will Jake Locker go in? After shocking
scouts and deciding to return to the University of Washington for his
senior year, the once-projected top pick is now facing the 2011 draft
with a not-so-stellar season behind him. In "A Matter of Perspective,"
The Mag asked some experts-including an offensive coordinator,
two directors of college scouting, Locker's brain specialist and QB
coach-to break down his best game from last season and evaluate his
skills.
