Ryan Hart – Rutgers

Ht:       6’1”
Wt:      206
Complete QB PPI Rating:    80.53

What Complete QB Likes About Him: Fluid Footwork is consistently solid – meaning Hart rarely throws across his body/  Consistent arm slot as ball is delivered/  Completed 60% of passes for his career, despite playing on teams with limited rushing attack through junior season/  Uses eyes effectively to look off hash defenders during pass drop/  Anticipates break of intended receiver well – does not often leave receivers waiting for ball/  Decision-making improved dramatically from 2004 to 2005, reflected by 18TD-8 INT campaign in ten games/  Showed considerable character in enduring three seasons of bad team football, finally leading Rutgers to its first bowl game in 30 years/

What Complete QB Does Not Like: The fact that Hart was not invited to the Scouting Combine, despite finishing 18th in NCAA passer ratings (ahead of Quarterbacks named Croyle, Gradkowski, Leak, Vick, and Basanez, among others) was surprising/  Hart will need to prove to NFL teams that he can be accurate and deliver balls with the proper trajectory on deep routes/

What Might Happen: Draft day will likely come and go without Hart being selected, but that will not be the end of his story/  A Free Agent contract that gets him into the right NFL training camp will afford Hart the opportunity to show teams what they passed on/  In order for Hart to be successful, he needs to sign with a team that will have an open competition for a #3 job. In an environment where he is not asked to do too much in Year 1, he can flourish/
