Yeah he can run, but he won't be able to do that as effectively in the NFL. I know I keep repeating myself, but Locker is probably the most overrated NFL prospect in recent memory. Jake Plummer performed way better at ASU than Locker did at Washington. Please Skins FO, for the love of god continue building the O line!!!!!! We could get Cam Newton in the first round and he would probably be average behind our crappy line, so why waste a pick on Locker.
Really? I can understand you not wanting to draft Locker but you're talking about a guy in Plummer that going into his final college year had 0 TD passes and 9 Int's in 11 games the year before. It doesn't get much worse then that. On top of that Plummer posted completion percentages at the collegiate level of 51%, 54%, and 57% respectively. He also only had more then 0 rushing yards in one year and that turned into a whooping 63 yards total. If anything Locker is an exponentially better pro prospect then Plummer, even with his recent regression.
