Former Penn State quarterback Trace McSorley is not compromising on his desire and expectation to be a quarterback at the NFL level.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Jeff Legwold, McSorley was asked to work out on Monday as a defensive back at the NFL Combine, but declined to focus on working as a quarterback.

Recall that last year there was some speculation over another quarterback switching positions. In the end, he didn’t, and it paid off for him, which McSorley will be well aware of. That said, McSorley is in an entirely different class, and is rated by most prognosticators as a day three pick entering the Combine, making his road a long one.
