Sleeper

Ohio State fans won't be surprised by this, and one of them first alerted me to this guy:

Ken Guiton is a 6'3" senior quarterback who didn't even start as a senior, but racked up astronomical stats in his few opportunities (two starts).

Naturally, he wasn't even invited to the combine, and nobody in media has even scouted him.

Not being a big Buckeye fan myself, I can only go by his stats.  

For sure, he can run--averaging over 8 YPC.  But his TD/INT ratio is excellent, and his completion percentage for 2013 was over 68%.  His average completion was for around ten yards in '13.

I don't know if he has a strong arm, how well he reads defenses, how quick he releases the ball, or any of those other details about him.

And yeah, he played for one of the best teams in college football, with a little help from Carlos Hyde.  And yeah, you wonder why Irvin Meyer didn't start him.

I'm just sayin, Tom Brady has sort of a similar background in college...

We've got a version of him here in Brian Hoyer.  

He could be drafted very late, if not signed as a free agent.  With his limited experience, he's a project unless, like Brady, he's a brain and has football OCD (that bar is pretty high).

I love the underdogs.  Ray could have this guy up his sleeve.
