According to his
NFL.com scouting report, Manuel is as gifted as any quarterback in the class. A 6-5 and 237 pounds, he boasts a strong arm and ample mobility. There are those who question his accuracy; short throws are often low or wide, preventing receivers from making a play after the catch. Deep ball accuracy is uneven, as well. Still, as a senior, Manuel started all 14 games and even topped off the 12-2 with a decisive Orange Bowl victory. He completed 263-of-387 attempts for 3,397 yards, 23 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. He added 310 rushing yards and four touchdowns while dealing with his mother's cancer treatment, something Manuel kept under wraps for a large portion of the season. Look for him to get an immediate shot at the Bills' starting spot, competing with Kevin Kolb and Tarvaris Jackson.
