Ole Miss quarterback Matt Corral says he would love to be the quarterback that succeeds Ben Roethlisberger.
Speaking at the NFL Combine on Wednesday said, “Who wouldn’t want to step in after a Hall of Fame quarterback, you know what I mean,” said Corral. “It’s definitely a blessing just to be considered that a team wants you after having such a quarterback like Ben Roethlisberger.”
It’s been reported by NFL Network that Corral won’t be throwing at all in Indianapolis for the combine due to a high ankle sprain he suffered in the Sugar Bowl against Baylor.
Corral is planning to throw at Ole Miss’ pro day later this month.
Corral said that he does not regret his decision to play in the bowl game saying he was never going to opt out.
Some mock drafts have Corral going as early at pick 11 to Washington and as late as 32 to the Detroit Lions, there second pick of the draft.
