Matt Stafford, GeorgiaMeasurables:
Combine height: 6-2 1/4
Combine weight: 225 pounds
Combine 40 time: 4.83 seconds

Stats:
Stafford threw for 3,459 yards as a junior, completing 61 percent of his passes and throwing 25 touchdowns against 10 interceptions. For his career he threw for 7,731 yards and 46 touchdowns against 33 interceptions and completed 57 percent of his passes. He also rushed for 598 yards and six touchdowns and led the Bulldogs to three bowl victories.

Skill Set:
Stafford has been on the radar since being the National High School Player of the Year in 2005. It didn’t take him long to make a splash in the SEC, either; he moved into the starting lineup as a true freshman and led Georgia to a 6-2 record that included three victories over teams ranked 16th or better. His success in one of the nation’s toughest conferences speaks to his competitiveness and leadership skills, but that’s not what has Stafford at or near the top of most draft boards; it’s his powerful, accurate arm. Stafford can make all the throws and while his completion percentage isn’t gaudy and some scouts are concerned that he doesn’t always lead his receivers he does have good touch on the deep ball and his overall accuracy isn’t a concern.
