A: Everything plays a part when you drop in the draft. But I also think that a mindset developed among NFL teams as to whether he could play on third down and passing situations. That doesn’t mean I agree with it, but I heard it enough times on Pro Day to know it was a growing issue.

As long as he can handle the adjustment to the speed of the NFL next season, he might be the guy directing the Jets toward a possible playoff run.
