Illinois NFTC MVPs by position
June 8, 2009 9:09 AM
QB, Chandler Whitmer, 6-0, 183, Downers Grove (Ill.) South
The quarterback position was the deepest it's been all tour-long in Champaign, but it was the local pocket passer Whitmer bound for Illinois that emerged as the group's MVP over a slew of other outstanding prospects. Whitmer was the day's most consistent passer, showing great accuracy, footwork and coachability. He doesn't have A-plus arm strength but more than makes up for it with quick decision-making and a hair-trigger release.
