QB Blake Sims     

There are also a variety of opinions about Alabama's 2014 quarterback. Scouts liked his mobility at the Senior Bowl, but there were some accuracy issues. Fortunately for Sims, this is considered a top-heavy quarterback class. After Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota, there doesn't appear to be many top-flight passers left.

ESPN ranks Sims 13th among quarterbacks in the draft while CBSSports slotted him No. 8, going in the sixth or seventh round.

With a good showing in passing drills, Sims has the opportunity to prove he can play quarterback in the NFL. He also said he was willing to look at a positional change to running back or slot receiver if quarterback doesn't pan out, but this will be a big week for his primary objective.

Slot receiver??   

Hmmm.

Sims does have good hands and could possibly make a really good slot receiver IMO.  Also, since some of the recent former Bama qb's didn't/couldn't make it in the NFL as QB then I certainly don't see Sims doing so.

This guy gets paid for writing?   

I'd be surprised if he ever plays a down at QB in the NFL, in a real game.  But he's an athlete, maybe they can find something else to do with him.  He won't be the first college QB to turn receiver at the next level.
