QB. North Carolina. Mitch Trubisky. 13. player. 32. At 6’3″, 220 pounds, Mitch Trubisky looks the part of an NFL quarterback with his size, build and arm strength. He also has excellent accuracy and touch, particularly on throws in the intermediate portion of the field. And coming out of the Spread Offense, he is a good athlete that can hurt opponents with his legs. <p>There’s really nothing not to like about Trubisky except he isn’t a pro ready quarterback. Like all Spread Offense quarterbacks, he has to learn the verbiage of calling plays and footwork from starting under center. He will also have to audible, change protections and go through more progressions in the pocket.</p> <p>So he needs to go to a team that’s stacked and doesn’t need him to play right away. The Arizona Cardinals are such a team as they have Carson Palmer to teach him the ropes before hanging them up. If it weren’t for injuries and a bad year for Palmer, the Cardinals would pick much lower than this.</p> <p>But this would be the bright side of the Cardinals having a bad year after losing the NFC Championship Game. The Cardinals obviously have to hope for the best next year with health and Palmer. Outside of him and Larry Fitzgerald, this is a young team that can go into the future with Trubisky at the helm.</p>
