Mitch Leidner
Leidner, a University of Minnesota product, is another quarterback that won’t be available until the 2017 NFL Draft but it doesn’t hurt to start planning now. He is of very similar size to Palmer. Leidner is 6’4, Palmer 6’5. Leidner is listed at 237 pounds. Palmer is listed at 235.
Currently listed as the fith-best quarterback prospect in the 2017 NFL Draft, Leidner’s statistics won’t blow you away, he has 28 touchdowns and 20 interceptions in three seasons but is known as a moblie quarterback as well. Can you imagine a mobile Carson Palmer?
Nothing wrong with Leidner’s arm. A strong arm always fits in Arizona. In fact, it’s a must.
