While Wallace didn’t become a star he made a decent living playing QB in the NFL for the last 9 years….once Colin works out as a TE, he’ll never have a shot at playing QB

He told them to stick it. Worked out ok for him, I believe.

I have never called out anyone on a site before but this is too good for me to pass up! You must be an LSU fan (i am) to make that absurd reference. Are you seriously comparing a heisman finalist to 2 guys who never had a chance to play college football as a QB?!?! Wait!!! theres a guy blowing it up as an 8th grade QB this year but he will switch to RB in high school, Klein can definitely learn from him. Way to make fan look short for fanatic!!

Didn’t think he was a total lost cause as a qb he’s not as bad of a thrower as tebow and that’s why he might get a shot in some capacity especially with the lack of impact qbs this year.

But young man show your versatility that’s how you’ll make your way. A backup or even league minimum ain’t a bad gig. Don’t be too prideful and loose any shot u may have.

It would seem that he could benefit from some good advice from his agent. A lot of NFL players including Early Doucet and Patrick Peterson played QB early in their career only to find NFL success at another position. I guess Klein hasnt learned anything from Tim Tebow…sad.

Backup QB in the NFL is a pretty great job.

So what makes anyone think he would make it as a TE? He is listed at 225- sounds pretty small to me. Is he some kind of Tebow-esque battering ram? Even in the pass-catching oriented TE offenses, most of those guys are like 6’6 260. Why not FB? Or WR (too slow?).

And he wants to be taken seriously as a quarterback at the NFL level? Even Tim Tebow knows that ain’t gonna happen.

They tried to turn RG3 into a WR or a CB in college, but he felt he was a QB. While I may believe he is more of a tim tebow type player, only time will tell how if he can morph into an nfl starting QB. Go for it Klein, best of luck.

Answer: A team that wasn’t willing to trade him at the drop of a hat.

Good luck, Klein.

I think has the intelligence but I am not sure if he has the tools as a passer. I guess he can at least try as a QB for the combine and if it fails go to another league and try to sharpen his skills or try in the NFL in another position.
