Thread: QB: Dan LeFevour, Central Michigan

Dan LeFevour has done a lot of things during his career with Central Michigan. The 6-3 quarterback won the conference's Freshman of the Year honors in 2006 and was an honorable mention Freshman All-American by multiple media outlets. Not only did LeFevour throw for over 3,000 yards as a freshman, but he also proved to be a great rusher and reached the end zone seven times on the ground. In 2007 he became just the second player in NCAA history to pass for 3,000 yards and run for 1,000 in the same season. His company in that elite group is Vince Young. That season he also joined Tim Tebow as the only player to pass for at least 20 touchdowns and score 20 touchdowns. In all, LeFevour accounted for an amazing 47 touchdowns in 2007.

LeFevour's numbers dipped in 2008, but he still proved to be an efficient passer and did lead the team in rushing with 592 yards; more important than the touchdowns and rushing is the passing efficiency. Through 11 games in the 2009 season, LeFevour has completed an impressive 71.7 percent of his passes and has thrown just five interceptions.

At 6-3 and 238 pounds, LeFevour has the size NFL teams will be looking for in a signal caller. He does not exactly have experience in a pro style offense, but he should be able to prove any doubters wrong during senior week when he can take a few more snaps under center.

1/24 Update: LeFevour kept up his impressive collegiate career and ended his senior campaign with a victory over Ohio in the Mid-American Conference Championship game and a win over Troy in the GMAC Bowl. LeFevour will participate in the Senior Bowl and his performance under center there will boost or drop him on the draft boards. Right now he looks like a solid third round signal caller for a team that has some other options at quarterback while LeFevour spends a year or two learning on the sidelines.

Dan has easily been the best QB on the North squad so far at the practices and I've read he's been the best overall thus far.

He's my 3rd rated QB at this point.

1. Clausen
2. Bradford
3. LeFevour

Marginal arm strength. Has over the top delivery, however it takes him a long time to wind up for it. Operates out of spread attack, and takes very few snaps under center, which could hurt his integration into a pro style offense.

Sounds a lot like Tebow, but without the Heisman or National Championships.

That was an old scouting report, I updated it above now.

He's certainly doing the bolded thus far.

I think this is Matts #1 QB in the draft.

Central Michigan QB Dan LeFevour was effective with both arm and his feet. In addition to his 97 yards and 1 TD trough the air LeFevour punched in a score on the sneak. LeFevour was named the North's Most Outstanding Player.

"I'll be doing [pretty much] everything except throwing at the combine," LeFevour told NFLDraftBible.com.

Of course, throwing is a pretty big part of being a pro quarterback, and LeFevour's decision to do "everything except throwing" is depriving himself of an opportunity to impress NFL scouts. But he says he wants to throw with his own receivers at Central Michigan's pro day.

"I will focus solely on throwing at pro day," LeFevour said. "Just getting focused with that . . . only having one thing to do on pro day and being able to work with my receivers up at school that are coming out. Putting everything I have into that aspect of it."

Maybe, but maybe it means he's there for us a round later, justifying the posters all over your bedroom?

Yeah wasn't the biggest question with him is arm strength? I guess he must have a Chad Pennington arm if he isn't going to throw at the combine. Oh and I also heard he his compared to Pennington.

Draft him so Edwards, brohm, fitz and the fever can have a faggiest arm contest in training camp

I heard he had a pretty meh pro day.... I wait til the 5th to see if he drops, backup QB city.

Yeah they were talking about him on Sportscenter today. McShay called him the most overrated player in the draft and said he's a 5th-6th round grade, but think someone will take him as early as the 2nd. He questioned his arm strength, mental ability reading defenses and drive for football and leadership skills.

Lots of shocking things for me to hear about him.

I don't "overdraft" any of the Qb's in this draft. None of them are good enough to take a round early, wait and see if they fall.
