Florio's NFL/Fantasy Football Scouting Report: Maye, McCarthy, Penix, Nix, and more

Quarterback is the hardest position to scout. No one can get inside a QB's head and I am not going to pretend like I know who has the intangibles and who doesn’t. I do not know if any of them did not have their friends attend their birthday party. But what I can judge is […]
