Was listening to XM and they were talking about Tanner Lee It's that time of year where some players get truly overhyped...
So he isn't very good? Looks like he has size and arm strength from what I read from the Manning Academy. Not sure what you're saying. Have you seen him play?

He was a good player coming out of Jesuit. He was built a lot like Brennan, but wasn't as talented of a thrower at that time. He's gotten bigger and stronger in college and is receiving a lot of hype now.

He was miserably bad at Tulane as a 2-year starter there. It's Tulane, but it's also not like they play top notch competition.
This time of year random guys and "NFL Scouts" will throw out some random fairly unknown names they expect in the draft, sometimes they're right, sometimes they're wrong. Lee hasn't really shown anything to be talked about as a potential 1st or 2nd round pick in the draft.
Josh Allen from Wyoming is getting similarly overhyped right now. That guy threw 15 picks and completed just 56% of his passes last season.
Maybe both go in the 1st/2nd round like some are projecting right now, or more likely neither does. Some guys can ride hype all the way to a high draft pick though, seen it happen many times. Christian Hackenberg is a great example. 5-star out of high school, 3 year starter at Penn State, didn't improve 1 bit from freshman to junior season and was mediocre at his very best. Drafted in 2nd round last year by Jets and still cant win the job competing with really crappy other QBs. Josh McCown will be named starter who is a washed up old guy.
