It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Bear in mind this is from an agent reporting an alleged scout's opinion... :confused2:In order to help take the next step, Hiller has moved to the Los Angeles area, hired sports agent Carter Chow and undertaken a rigorous training regimen.
"Tim has a lot of pluses, such as his size and intelligence and leadership qualities," said Chow, whose clients include three-time Super Bowl winner Tom Brady of the Patriots and Saints head coach Sean Payton.
Asked what Hiller needs to work most on, Chow said, "Every QB has to work on simply refining their craft -- footwork, accuracy, etc."
Chow said one scout mentioned recently that Hiller reminded him of a young version of Brady, who wound up being a steal after New England got him in round six of the 2000 draft out of Michigan.
"That's just one man's opinion, though," Chow said. "Tim has his own game, and we feel he has his own great future ahead of him."
I think of all the RB in this years draft, Dwyer is the most intriguing. Mostly because of the system he played in. There should be questions about his ability to pass protect. As a runner I don't know if the system he played in hurts him or helps him. I think most people view him as somewhat of a system back, but I think teams went into playing GT geared up to stop the run. He still managed to produce. He might end up as a nice surprise for someone.......
Kyle Eckel and Eric Kettani say howdy do.I think of all the RB in this years draft, Dwyer is the most intriguing. Mostly because of the system he played in.

He produced garbage against Iowa, Georgia and Miami.
I suppose I have to concede he just tore it up against perennial juggernauts Vandy and Wake.
Which of those groups do you suppose is closer to the level of defensive competition he'll face as a professional?
Despite Dwyer's excellent 2008 season, he regressed in 2009. Anthony Dixon looks like a far better bet, in my eyes, and he will be available a hell of a lot later on in the Draft than Dwyer.
Who is endorsing him?That's not a sparkling endorsement. I am on the fence. I think he could go either way, obscurity or feature back. Is he better than T. Choice?

Right now, I see Ben Tate and Stafon Johnson as underrated, Johnson criminally so.
While this is true, he'll also have a much better offensive line and, unless he goes to San Francisco, a much better quarterback, along with a Pro-system where teams will be more reluctant to sell-out on stopping the run game.
Dwyer will be a productive NFL running back. I still don't see Chris Johnson when I see CJ Spiller -- I see Felix Jones, which isn't a bad thing, but not someone I want to spend a top 20 pick on. I think Dixon is going to end up a fullback like Greg Jones in the NFL.

Blount is a figment of people's imagination - if you have the Senior Bowl taped go watch his runs again. A good play to watch is right around the two-minute warning in the first half where he bounces off three blockers trying to find a hole, pops out around the edge and hits a brick wall - a 5'9" brick wall nearly 50 pounds lighter. Help arrived to finish the take down, but Blount was stopped and standing upright waiting for someone to strip the ball for a fumble. (I want to draft the brick wall with a 6th and retrain him to be Kevin Faulk.)What about Oregon RB LaGarrete Blount? He had the whole Boise State incident, but he could be a good strong pounding Brandon Jacobs type RB that we could get in later rounds. He and McCluster could be two great additions.
Curt: Who is the best player you ever went up against in college?
Manase: The toughest players that I have had the pleasure of playing against were Jason Beauchamp of UNLV and Daryl Washington of TCU. Both athletic, physical, and smart players. I have a ton of respect for these two and hope to play with or against them again in the future.
JBS: Who is the best player you faced in your career?
Quentin: The running backs from Southern Illinois and North Dakota State are really good running backs. Deji Karim and Pat Paschall. Both guys are good backs because they have speed and power to go with that speed.
