Brandon Marshall, Roddy White Endorse Ryan Mallett as Future All-Pro QB

There are few college players entering the NFL draft who have been more scrutinized than Ryan Mallett. The former Arkansas quarterback has had his background and character questioned, and he even reportedly admitted to drug use during draft interviews. Many people, myself included, wonder about his ability to be a franchise quarterback in leader. Even though he has a rocket arm and can be a great pocket passer, his character concerns remind me of someone like Jay Cutler, who is still getting criticized.

The good news for Mallett is that even if the media questions him, it seems as if his contemporaries support him.

Dolphins Pro Bowl receiver Brandon Marshall stated on twitter Tuesday “Listen to me. Ryan Mallett will be an All-Pro Qb.” Falcons Pro Bowl receiver Roddy White agreed with Marshall, and B-Marsh later called Mallett the “hip Matty Ice.”

I’m sure Dolphins GM Jeff Ireland appreciates hearing Marshall’s scouting breakdown of Mallett, but that’s not exactly what he’s around for. Still, hopefully the Dolphins take the subtle hint and realize they need a new quarterback. I’ve gathered that they’re interested in Colin Kaepernick, and picking at 15 he’ll likely be around while Mallett may not. Bottom line, they need a QB and should draft accordingly.
