It's just so obvious that the other two QB's are so much more athletically superior that - if Mac is the choice, its something other than athleticism that drew Kyle to Mac.
Of course, it's Mac's passing accuracy, processing speed, decision making, passion and leadership that is most attractive.
But Mac isn't the stiff athletically people make him out to be.
4.7 40, 7.04 3 cone are damn good times. A 32" vert means that he can dunk.
He's quick in the pocket and good hand-eye coordination from his years of playing tennis.
All of his test numbers are above average for QB's
Mac's Pro Day
Height: 6-2 5/8 Weight: 217
40-yard dash: 4.72, 4.68
Vertical jump: 32 inches
Broad jump: 9 feet, 8 inches
Shuttle: 4.39
3-cone: 7.04
Mac is a late bloomer who with a good workout regime could add 10+ pounds of muscle and still gain considerable strength and speed in both his arm and legs. He will get faster, quicker and a stronger arm. He hasn't had a serious workout regimen probably because Alabama didn't expect him to be the starter.

I'm sorry but I don't know what you see. These numbers to me don't change the fact that he looks like an old man with bad knees when he runs. Even when he's backpedaling he looks like an old man. It reminds me of all the last few years when shack was on the basketball court.
I think it's your bias. The numbers don't lie. Mac is a good athlete. He can dunk! He's quick (good shuttle & 3 cone times).
He will get better faster stronger with training and not having to study for his masters degree.
