Pac-10 Player Watch: Brock Osweiler
College Football Insiders “Pac-10 offensive players to watch for 2010” series continues with Arizona State quarterback Brock Osweiler.
There is no shortage of top of the line quarterbacks in the Pac-10 at the moment. With Jake Locker, Andrew Luck, Matt Barkley, and Nick Foles the league boasts four signal callers who are very likely to play at the next level. With continued development and experience, Brock Osweiler has a chance to join the parade of future pros.
Why would somebody be excited about a quarterback who last season as a true freshman threw 55 passes and completed less than 50 percent of them? Ask Dennis Erickson. Prior to spring practice most people were ready to hand the starting job to Steven Threet, the Georgia Tech and University of Michigan transfer
