Taylor Martinez- The Nebraska Cornhuskers have not had a quarterback with Martinez's running ability since Eric Crouch. That is really saying something because Eric Crouch won the Heisman Trophy. The one thing that Martinez can do better then Crouch is he is a much better pocket passer. However, he is far from being a finished product. One weakness that I see is Martinez game, is just like Chuckie Keeton, at times he will leave the pocket too quickly when he just needs to wait just a little longer for his receivers to get open. He has gotten better at this each and every season that he has been at Nebraska, which is very evident when you put on the game tape. The strengths of Martinez's game is, his very quick release, along with his ability to escape the rush and make plays happen with his feet. Taylor threw for 2,871 yards with 23 touchdowns to only 12 picks. Along with that he also rushed for 1,019 yards and added 10 more touchdowns. When I see Taylor's progress that he has made over the last couple of years I see a guy who has a chance to win a lot of games this year for Nebraska. He also has the ability to possibly be a quarterback in the NFL if he learns how to better read defenses and make smart decisions with the football.
