Apparently, the year Maxwell was in camp, there were 7 QBs there that eventually got drafted, and another that later on signed with Denver in the free agency, which is pretty freaking amazing. That being said, the year after that, 0 of the 11 QBs were drafted and only 5 of them were signed in free agency (Gardner among them).

Note - of the 7 QBs that were drafted none of them have starter spots, except maybe Geno Smith (I don't care about the Jets enough to know about their QB situation). The year before that though, included Andrew Luck, Blaine Gabbert, EJ Manuel, all of whom were first round picks (with only Luck still retaining a starter spot). 

So yeah, its really hit or miss.

The top QBs in the show are those that Trent Dilfer believes have the "intangibles" to lead a team to excellence - its his opinion and no one is perfect. Problem with the whole process is some kids are not "gridiron gamers", just camp wonders in T-shirts and they tend to dominate the event. Show should be re-titled "Elite 11 in T-shirts" ...

I guess I have kind of a weird thought as it relates to these type of events for players that are committed prospects. Unless they're trying to get noticed by a bigger program, why even bother with this crap? I get that you want a competitor, but ultimately what do they really gain by spending all of this extra time traveling all over the place for some silly "Elite 11" prize?

Both good points above.. Some counterpoints would be: 1). How much of said teaching is "retaught" by whoever his college coach may be? 2). When are 17 year old kids allowed to be just that? Once you get the scholarship offer you want, keep working out and enjoy yourself a little I say. It may explain why I had zero athletic scholarships offers. That, and about 50 other factors.. Lol

Congrats. Interesting that multiple teams from the East division got a QB in there, Rutgers, Maryland, Michigan State, Michigan obviously and I think Penn State.
