Will Blake Horvath get drafted?

The case for Blake Horvath as an UDFA
Playing in Navy's offense, Horvath was far from a traditional quarterback.
He ran for a combined 2,446 yards and 33 touchdowns in his junior and senior seasons combined.
As a passer, he threw for 2,933 yards and 25 touchdowns in those two seasons.
He completed 59.2% of his passes.
Horvath doesn't have an NFL quarterback skillset.
But he does have toughness, and character, and legitimate athletic ability.
It feels like there might be room for Horvath in an NFL building. As a quarterback, maybe not. But as a football player and a man, he's got a chance.
