Cugel, there are 32 teams in the NFL, not 22.

What? Kelly was one spot from being undrafted.

If college teams knew the potential evidenced in Sloter's game tape last year he would have started for a team in a Divison 1 major conference. Sometimes teams overlook talent.

By the way, I know I started the statement with a preposition. I double don't care!!

He probably had offers to stay in Div I but some of his credits didn't even transfer to UNC so he wouldn't qualify for a graduate transfer and had already redshirted so he wouldn't have any eligibility left.

How's that sentence structure for ya?

I think you are still capable of worse. Try harder.

Had to google who Kyle Sloter was.

1. "If" is a conjunction, not a preposition.

2. Tradition, not formal grammar, forbids prepositions at the END (i.e. not beginning) of clauses, but grammarians increasingly consider that an attempt to improperly make English Latin (I personally prefer maintaining links between prepositions and their objects, as well as within infinitives, for claritys sake.)

3. Tradition, not formal grammar, also forbids initial conjunctions, but the greatest and most respected English writers have routinely ignored that for centuries (e.g. Shakespeare in MacBeths observation about murdering his king: "If it were done when 'tis done, then 'twere well it were done quickly.")

The best thing Sloter has going for him (other than a good arm, vision and decision making) is that he's not Swag Kelly—he must still crush TC just to make the roster, and, just as throughout college, his depth chart position permits few opportunities to do so (so the WORST thing going for him is ALSO that he's not Swag Kelly.)

There is only 31.

Oh wait, are you counting Cleveland?

Challenge accepted.

Yeah BUT he was a late first to early second round talent grade wise if he didn't have character issue's and medical issue's. That's just a fact.

Ryan Leaf was a #2 overall pick until character and drugs made him #176-671 in Montana State Prison. Before the NFL started handing out suspensions to protect its brand from people like Aaron Hernandez and Rae Carruth. Character matters. Unless you like blowing 1st round picks to replace a starting QB every couple years.

Kelly's a Bronco, so I wish him well, but I'm not blinded by orange-tinted glasses either, so am not holding my breath given his consistent history.
