NFL COMBINE ONLY

Measurements & testing

Not yet verified. No pro-day or college listing is substituted for Combine measurements.

Compare the evidence.

Verified college starts: 50 total. NC State’s final career GP–GS record is 37 appearances and 36 starts; Wisconsin documents 14 starts. This is 50 total starts, not 50 consecutive starts. NC State final statistics, participation table · Wisconsin biography.

Shared traits must be supported by comparable records, not inferred from success in the NFL. The core tables compare all 28 players using the same disclosed NCAA-passing and quarterback-start definitions. Mixed-entry measurement sources are labeled individually; film and advanced-stat archives are not complete.

Experience

College starts, seasons, age and development.

Production

Completion rate, passing efficiency, touchdowns and interceptions, with season and competition context.
