Jake Locker is a natural athlete.
Whether it was football, baseball or basketball, the Ferndale phenom produced winning results.
But to learn how to be an efficient quarterback – a prolific passer ready for the NFL – Locker has undergone several transformations.
It started in his high school days leading a Wing-T offense. He then learned the nuances of the spread offense from former University of Washington coach Tyrone Willingham, and finally started mastering the pro-style offense under second-year UW coach Steve Sarkisian.
Because Locker’s passing has started to catch up to his athleticism, he could become the No. 1 pick in the 2011 NFL draft.
