Coming from a 'big name program' does not mean anything. The #2 QB this year played at South Dakota....

It was a perfect storm for the Bills taking EJ. Not only did they need a QB that year but it was also one of the worst years for QBs in the history of the NFL. Even worse than that he was forced to start right away and that crushed any development opportunity.
