Seneca Wallace
ROUND
4, PICK 13, OVERALL PICK 110
QB 5-11, 196 Iowa
State
Was a two-year starter at Iowa State
after playing one year at Sacramento Junior
College.
Originally intended to play for Oregon
State but transferred to Sacramento Junior College to be closer to his mom after
she became ill.
Positives: Has a quick, overhand
delivery and can throw on the run.
Has NFL arm strength and quick feet.
Negative: Small for his position. Has a tendency to
force throws. Doesn't always read
coverage’s well and has hot-and-cold streaks as a
passer.
Hawk
Outlook: Will have to battle for
third string quarterback spot. Jeff Kelly listed as number three behind
Hasselbeck and Dilfer. Has great athleticism (4.5 40-yard dash, 38-inch vertical
leap), which should make it hard for coaches to make a quick decision on him.
Practice an option.
