A friend of mine said that he read somewhere Halzle could be a first round/early second round pick in the NFL Draft. I mean if Matt Cassel a career college bench warmer can make it in the NFL why not Joey? He has a quick release, good accuracy for not playing much and he is pretty elusive. He did a damn fine job against TT last year and almost won that game without even getting warmed up. I think he could be a late 2nd round or a 3rd round guy. Discuss...
Having Halzle even as our backup scares me to death, I'm sure he's a nice guy but he just doesn't have it. I do wish him well though and would be very pleasantly surprised at NFL success.
1% chance of being drafted in the first 2 rounds. Of course, if he goes to the NFL combines and wows them that could be a different story. That's why I said 1% chance. Presumably, Matt Cassell's success as guy who never started in college might open some doors for future college back-ups as NFL teams might be more open-minded towards them.
Matt Cassel went in the seventh round. Heupel went in the sixth. Jason White wasn't drafted, period. If the two greatest QBs in OU history couldn't get out of the draft cellar, why on EARTH would Halzle, especially with zero experience as a starter, and whose primary job since Day 1 has always been to be a quality backup??? I'm not saying he couldn't pull a Cassel, or a Tony Romo even. But be a high draft pick? There's a better chance of SicEm getting struck by lightning while having sex after he won the lottery.
Joey Halzle has as good a chance to be drafted as i do... i mean dayum i was second team all edmond my senior year
I play a pretty mean Madden and I was a kickass run & shoot guy on Tecmo. Not to even mention my innovative use of the option on intellivision....and there wasn't even an option play in the game! I'm ready for the draft!
If you're going to believe everything your friends tell you, I would suggest getting smarter friends.
