The Read on Weedon

As the Scouting Combine moves forward we will hear many interesting stories about the players there. Brandon Weedon, the 28 year old quarterback from Oklahoma State, certainly has his tale.

He was drafted by the New York Yankees as a pitcher in the 2nd round of the 2002 draft. He was so highly regarded that in 2003, the Yankees sent him to the LA Dodgers, along with two other prospects in order to get Kevin Brown.

In 2005, he ended up with the Kansas City Royals as a result of the Rule 5 Draft. He finished his playing career the next year in the California League.

His enrollment at Oklahoma Sate in 2007 started this odyssey to the NFL. Teams will pass on him because of his age, but he put up some great numbers the last two years.

Numbers drive the Scouting Combine and draft. He has raw talent. Someone will take him at some point. I wonder what pick.
