Big, physical senior passer finished an outstanding career with the Seminoles that culminated with the Heisman Trophy award. He also won the Johnny Unitas and Davey O'Brien awards in 2000 as the nation's top passer. For the 2000 season, he threw for 4,167 yards and 33 TD passes. Both numbers led the nation's passers.

Over his three seasons as a starter, he finished with a 32-3 record, including a national championship as a junior. He is the first three-year starter during the reign of coach Bobby Bowden and totaled a record 13 career games of 300 yards passing, including seven as a senior. He set FSU and ACC records for career passing yardage of 9,839 and TDs with 79. He has flourished in the Seminoles' hurry-up offense where the emphasis is on the passing game. His success could largely be attributed to a deep and talented group of receivers at his disposal.

Weinke has adequate footwork on his setup and has a full windup delivery that may need some adjustment. He has a strong arm that allows him to throw the out and deep ball with equal success. He has demonstrated outstanding leadership at the helm with the poise under fire that NFL teams seek in a starting signal-caller. He is a mature player and spent six years in the Toronto Blue Jays organization before returning to FSU in '97. He originally signed with FSU in '89 before choosing baseball.

He will be a 29-year-old rookie this fall, which will hurt his draft status this spring. He had an outstanding junior season after successfully returning from a serious neck injury that ended his sophomore season. In '99, he threw for 3,103 yards on a 61 percent completion rate with 25 TD passes while leading FSU to its second national title and first undefeated season. He returned for his final season and worked diligently in the off-season and lost 20 pounds to improve his mobility. He did show better footwork in the pocket and some ability to move outside and throw on the run.

He is primarily a pocket passer and must continue to work on his footwork to avoid the pass rush. He has good pocket presence and senses backside pressure, though he can throw it up for grabs at times and finished his career with 32 interceptions. He needs work on his timing and does not always hit his receivers in stride despite throwing for over 61 percent completion rate the past two seasons. He has improved his reads with experience and can deliver the ball to the hot receiver. He is a smart athlete with keen instincts and good intangibles. He has developed quick decision-making in the run-and-shoot attack, showing the rare ability to find the secondary receiver. He reads his progressions well, with the smarts to find the open receiver. He can pull the ball down and run for the first down, but he is not fast or a running threat. He needs work on his three-, five- and seven-step drops with the ability to pick up coverage while setting up. At the combine, he did not work out.

Quality pocket passer with physical limitations and the intangibles to eventually start. Top 150 pick and middle-round pick who may not ever be more than a No. 2 signal-caller.
