UDFA Profile: QB Aaron Corp - Richmond

[DraftBoy]

Our next UDFA Profile will take a look at one of the names that seems to have Bills Nation buzzing and that’s Richmond QB Aaron Corp. The former USC transfer down spent the last two season playing for the Richmond Spiders of the Colonial Athletic Association. For those unfamiliar with the FCS football ranks, the CAA is the FCS what the SEC is to the FBS.

"Corp also lacks the big time arm strength that many fans and pundits feel you need in order to play in the windy conditions of Ralph Wilson Stadium."

Which NFL's qb could you compare his game and arm strength?

Marc Bulger is a solid comp arm wise.

Then I like this guy chances.

ive heard qbs/coaches say its not so much strength as it is proper technique to put spin on the ball that helps fight the wind

sure would be awesome to come up with the next tony romo udfa kind of prospect, but you gotta admit his odds are loooong

Well when talking about wind, yes spin can certainly help cut through it and Corp doesn't always throw the tightest spirals. In general however his arm strength is slightly about adequate.

I think he has show somthing this coming weekend, especially after Buffalo brought in Tanney on a try-out who has a better feel for the system, and better arm strength.

Alex Tanney can throw the ball off the left goal post, over the swirling wind and in between the 1 and the 3.

[ddaryl]

Tanney seems like the better prospect of the 2, but until the pads are on and were seeing some scrimmage and preseason snaps it's all moot

corp has to be kinda pissed they signed tanney after him. didnt seem to bother tanney tho

I don't have anything against Thigpen, and actually I liked the guy while he was at KC. But I would like to have better Tanney and Corp as backup and PSquad.

You probably shouldn't if Bulger is an appropriate comp. Bulger was trash outdoors during his career. His numbers were propped up by playing in a dome.

Outdoors: 37 games, 36 TDs, 43 INTs, 75.7 rating.
Indoors: 59 games, 86 TDs, 50 INTs, 90.5 rating.

Pocket presence, smarts, decent arm and a little experience, is all that I want in a back up QB at this time for the Buffalo Bills. If this guy can provide us that, and I think he could, I'm ok with this.
