Not to be overly critical, but here is what I see with Mauk:
Poor Throwing motion – too much short stop side arm for his size.
Even on his highlight film, you rarely if ever see him read a defense. Only throws to the wide open man.
Very good athlete. May rely too much on this for my taste.
Very poor feet. I know, running for his life. However, I don’t think I saw him once drive into the throw even when he threw from the pocket.
He’s Jimmy Clausen without the big arm; and Jimmy’s wasn’t elite.

Keith Marshall IS Adrian Peterson! Get this kid a seat on the next flight to ND!

That Mauk highlight is impressive, and that was his Sophomore year. Although you have to wonder what offense they were running, that kid was running for his life. Kiel definitely has Mauk beat in one department, his name.
If Kelly can do for the defensive backfield and skill players what he just did for the defensive front seven, then I think the next couple years are going to be very fun.

Living in Oklahoma, I know a little about Sanders Jr. The kid is a baller! As of now though, I don’t believe the Irish are on his list anymore. That could certainly change by next year.

Real impressed by this Marshall kid as well. His separation speed after he hits the hole is phenomenal. D backs with the angle were getting smoked!!
