Aug. 10 practice observations?

Drew Brees, Russell Wilson, Aaron Rodgers, Alex Smith, none of these guys had much of anything for offers out of high school. There is a long list of QB's who were 3 stars or less that played in the NFL. When I looked into it, it's more common than you'd think. There are a fair share of the best QB's in the NFL who weren't even rated among the top 25 QB's coming out of high school. Just the 4 I listed are 4 of the the top 10 in the league? Ok, I'll stop.

And, and old ESPN article regarding Ben Roethlisbthlisbbghwerberger:

Rivals.com’s player rankings go back only to 2002 but it is well-documented how Roethlisberger did not start at quarterback until he was a senior in high school. The 2000 Findlay High School graduate signed with Miami (Ohio), a mid-major program, because higher-profile schools either got in on Roethlisberger too late or recruited him for another position.
