Rhett Bomar QB 6'2 225 Sam Houston St. 4.82

Bomar began his college career at the University of Oklahoma, and had an impressive freshman campaign. He threw for 2,018 yards, while completing 54.2% of his passes for ten touchdowns and ten interceptions. He was dismissed from the program after the season, as the NCAA found out he was getting paid for a job he was not performing by OU boosters. He resurfaced at Sam Houston in 2007, and shook off some of the rust from sitting out a year. He threw for 2,209 yards while completing just over 59% of his passes for ten scores and six interceptions. As a senior last year, Bomar looked more like the guy that was expected to be a Sooner star. He threw for 3,355 yards while completing 56.5% of his passes for 27 touchdowns, with just 13 picks.

Strengths

Bomar has all the physical tools to be a star in the NFL. He has a sturdy frame, capable of taking hits in the pocket. He has a strong arm, showing the velocity to deliver the ball into tight spots down the field. Bomar is also a solid athlete, and has the mobility to elude the rush and make plays on the run. He finally became the playmaker that was expected of him early in his career as a senior, and the potential he displayed has attracted quite a few NFL teams.

Weaknesses

Consistency is a big issue for Bomar. His accuracy can be erratic at times. He also thinks he can fit the ball into any spot on the field, and makes some questionable decisions with his throws. He is a work in progress and will need time to adjust after making such a big leap from the small school level. The incident that led to his dismissal from OU will be checked out, but that could easily be chalked up to being an immature kid. It is still an issue that will have to be answered before the draft.

Future

Bomar has the tools to develop, and because of that he will be selected in the middle rounds come April. If he can show the work ethic and patience to develop his skills, someone may have a keeper. Bomar is the top senior passer in the draft, although that isn’t saying much with the crop of senior QB’s this year.
