Have not heard his name mentioned as one moving up - not sure. The kid from Vanderbilt has moved up a ton- supposedly.

he may be drafted, but definitely not high. If he is drafted he is day two. Now if he has a great combine that may be able to boost him into a garaunteed pick, but right now I think that he will probably go undrafted, but sign as a free agent.

i hope this guy makes it. i saw him play against georgia southern on tv, and he was amazing. of course that is d1AA where obviously the talent level is down, but so what. this guy put up over 3,000 passing yards and 1,000 rushing yards during the season. he was like the vy of d1AA without the national championship and immediate entry into the nfl.

He wont be drafted unless he is stellar at the combines. Right now, the kid has no press. Scouts know some about him, but not near enough. He is going to have to work his butt of just to get some attention. A strong showing at the combine should do that.

Right now, most draft sites have him listed somewhere around #15-#20 in terms of top QBs. However, last year only 14 QBs were drafted. On top of that, Nealy is rated above guys like Drew Olson and Paul Pinegar, but those guys are more likely to be drafted higher than Nealy just because they fit the "pro QB" mold.

I dont think he'll get drafted. If he does it will be very late. I think he is a very good athlete and has some skill. But, there is still a ton of questions about him overall and his All-Star weekend game didnt help him at all. During the game he couldnt hit the side of a barn.

He might be one of these QB's that ends up in the CFL (ie. Casey Printers, Eli Roberson, Michael Bishop) and tries to refine his game up in Canada. Do that for a few years and then give the NFL another swing.

Well I've been looking at the sites and they're saying 6th round. But every one of them are talking about his tremendous upside and how a team needs to take a chance on him.
