My thoughts on Case Keenum
Keenum has proven he is a winner in 2011. Despite his winning ways there are a lot of flaws. Knowing how ESPN builds up the hype of one college player at quarterback you get the feeling Keenum will be that player in 2012. ESPN built up this hype with Colt McCoy in 2010 and Andy Dalton in 2011. Keenum will probably receive similar treatment and that could push him up draft boards.
