QB Ron Powlus’ future in the NFL
|
| One-time college phenom Ron Powlus
was one of the heroes of NFL Europe over the weekend. The former Notre Dame quarterback
hit L.C. Stevens on a 34-yard TD pass with 3:28 left in overtime Saturday as the Amsterdam
Admirals defeated the Berlin Thunder 24-21.
It was the second OT victory of the season for the Admirals, who improved to 3-2.
Powlus has been allocated to the Admirals by the Philadelphia Eagles. So far this
spring, Powlus has completed 76-of-134 passes (56.7 percent) for 814 yards with a 6-1
TD-interception ratio and an 86.5 passer rating.
ProFootballWeekly.com asked contributing editor Joel Buchsbaum for his thoughts on
Powlus’ progress.
Q: What’s the book on Powlus at this point?
Buchsbaum: He has average ability. This is a guy who was overhyped and overrated all
along. He’s gotten better by playing, but he still has a ways to go.
Q: What does the future hold for him in the NFL?
Buchsbaum: He has an outside chance to make a team as a No. 3 QB. |
