“The NFL game is changing and his skill set would have been fine seven or 10 years ago, but it'd be a tough ask for his style to fit in the NFL. I think Shea really needs to grow when it comes to his ability to sit in the pocket, because you still need to be able to do that.

"I’ve watched a lot of tape of his where the pocket is clean and if the primary receiver is covered and he has to sit there for a hitch and another hitch, he gets out because he’s so athletic. He’s always been able to rely on his creativity his whole career, and when you have that background as an athlete, you have tendencies to want to get out. They don’t like that in the NFL; they want you to sit in there and let those linemen create that pocket." — Herbstreit
