Matt Barkley is a backup QB, scouting director says

This analysis always struck me as strange. How does anyone know what a prospect's stock is while he still is in college? Brady Quinn once was viewed as a surefire top-five pick. Cam Newton was seen as a late first-round pick by nfl cheap jerseys some after the college season ended. Similar doubts existed about Robert Griffin III.

Barkley is a player who got nfl football jerseys a lot of attention because he played at USC, but it's not his senior season that should knock him out of the top 10. It's his skill set.

"I don't think Barkley really hurt himself," one AFC college scouting director told NFL.com's Albert Breer. "He was the same guy last year. He didn't start falling in October, no matter where he was on everyone's 'big board' in cheap jerseys December. I looked at Barkley (after his junior year), and I thought he was a backup quarterback. I told people, 'I'm not sold.' And it was the same thing this year. In the end, I don't think he hurt himself."
