Didn't watch the video...But from memory I do remember him being elusive because he was under contant pressure but he definitley wasn't a threat to run the ball.
RE: If Riley goes in the top five will we be considered
Reliable sources from the street r telling me that Riley will go round one, they say strong arm and reads the D well
I'm also told the Redskins, Jets, San Francisco, and bills r very interested. Depending on order of pick he could drop to 3rd or 4th round

He's not a runner but he has plenty pocket awareness and elusiveness. He made it sound like he's a stiff statue back there

I say Ferguson will be drafted in the 3rd-6th round because of the way the NFL drafts. Not a knock against Ferguson. He may be the best QB in the NCAA. NFL teams usually don't rush to draft spread qb's early unless they have a monster season. Wouldn't be surprised to see the patriots pick him up.

He was pretty bad with it early in the season. Improved big time as the season progressed. Maybe that's why some people say he has lack of mobility.

He has the mobility. Last years line was hit or miss. It should be well improved, his footwork will become less sporadic, and he will continue to climb.

Riley is unfortunately being compared to Paxton Lynch, who can flat out run.
RE: If Riley goes in the top five will we be considered
Back to the op, if Riley goes in first two rounds of draft, I do not think we will be considered qb U.
But, I think it will be noticed by qb recruits around the nation. It would definitely help us in recruiting.

With a very good offensive line he is a better NCAA quarterback than Lynch. With an average offensive line, Lynch is better. If I had the choice between Paxton his last season here or Riley, I would rather have Riley. He doesn't run as well; nor does he fit the ball into tight windows as well as Paxton, but he is 10X better throwing the deep ball and has better touch on his passes than Paxton.
If he would have played against Cincinnati he would have broken Lynch's records, which is incredible given the fact that Juco players usually only really show out their 2nd season at the D1 level.

This is from the article...
"Ferguson also played in a lot of pro-style concepts in college. Spending time under center and in the pistol. Memphis runs more of a ball control offense now, which explains why Ferguson’s numbers were good but not overly inflated. Teams will like the fact he will not have a huge learning curve in transition to the next level."

Yea, it was a learning curve with a solid trajectory for Riley last year. With an inconsistent OL. Mobility will not be an NFL deal-breaker.

Even in the highlight reel there wasn't a lot of under center action going on. I said Ferguson may be the best quarterback in the NCAA. I still predict late 2nd round - 6th round pick based on the way NFL teams draft unless he has a monster season.

RE: If Riley goes in the top five will we be considered
Wait, so the KC Chiefs traded way up to take a QB from a notorious spread offense as the 10th pick doesn't directly conflict everything you've said?
Mahomes threw for 5,052 yards and 41 tds and 10 ints
Ferguson threw for 3,698 yards 38 tds and 10 ints.
So, you honestly mean to tell me that if Ferguson has a better season than Paxton and pushes Mahomes stats, especially if the Tigers have a phenomenal season... you honestly think he will fall to late 2nd all the way to 6th round?!!!!
