No Contract Yet For Harrell
Posted by Mike Florio on May 4, 2009, 12:21 p.m. EDT

In the immediate wake of his participation in the Browns rookie minicamp on a tryout basis, former Texas Tech quarterback Graham Harrell has yet to parlay his performance into a free-agent contract.

Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer tells us that, although a deal has not yet been done, the Browns havent ruled out signing Harrell.

Itll be interesting to see whether Harrell gets a shot in the NFL. During our spot this morning with Tim Brando of Sporting News Radio, Brando made a compelling case for Harrell, distinguishing him from the smaller Chase Daniel.

Hes no Kliff Kingsbury, Brando said of Harrell.

So stay tuned on this one. As Brando pointed out, Daniel could end up being a guy who holds a clipboard in the NFL; Harrell could end up being a guy who puts on his helmet and plays.

Harrell is 6'2". Why are we questioning his size?

I would love to see a couple of the "too short" QBs come up to play in Canada. Particularly Chase Daniel. It's a different game up here, and I am fan of that as well as the NFL. Shorter QBs often do well here - the very best to ever play this game was Doug Flutie. He was REALLY too short to play in the NFL, and did not fit the Pro Style offense at all.

I think that the NFL teams are at some point going to have to come to terms with the fact that they will be drafting more and more QBs that have not played in a Pro Style offense in college. Various spread offense schemes seem to be coming into vogue at more and more schools. I suspect that the development time of a new QB will become a year or two longer, and it will be difficult to draft QBs that are ready to step into a starting role in the league.

I am happy that Graham Harrell latched on somewhere. I really enjoyed watching his offense!

Flutie wasn't that bad though. I think that the NFL scouts put way to much stock in size. Ofcourse, 5'10 is really extreme and it's a wonder that Flutie did have the succes he had, but 6'2? Favre is 6'2 (Like Pack93 stated), Garcia is 6'1, Brees is 6'0.

I think teams are just hestitant to pick up a smallish guy and give him a chance, but if they have a good arm etc. they can work out just as well. Ofcourse being a tall guy helps, but it's hardly as necessary as NFL teams seem to think. Or at least, that's how I think about it.
