And changes his clothes in a porta potty.

The story is interesting for every young QB out there, but I came out of it still not really understanding how, from a pure football perspective, he went from #1 QB in the country to sucking that much. Or does he not suck but lost his mental strength? What is it?
Someone should send this article to Skinny Eason.
There is a chance it is a similar situation, you're right. Hard to have the maturity to go against your parents at that age. -
It's actually not that rare for these guys to bust under the weight of being labeled #1. Here is Rivals' #1 ranked QB prospect, 2002 to present:The_Undertaker said:The story is interesting for every young QB out there, but I came out of it still not really understanding how, from a pure football perspective, he went from #1 QB in the country to sucking that much.

I'd also point out that 2010 was one of only two years in this period that no QB made Rivals' top 10 players overall. Heaps was ranked #63 overall in 2010; Driskel was ranked #32 overall in 2011. -
Heaps was always overrated. He had okay arm strength but was not bright. Had no athletic ability whatsoever. Maybe the least athletic 6-1 quarterback I've seen as a legit prospect. Was not accurate. Had no concept of throwing with touch. He just sucked all around. But Kim and f3 were still bobbing his knob when he was at Kansas saying you just wait til charlie Weiss gets ahold of him.
You can't make this up. -

Up vote for bobbing his knob.
