Playing behind Peyton Manning and Caleb Hanie (a fifth-year pro), Osweiler is not likely to see any playing time, but just mentoring under Manning should be an exceptional education. And that’s probably a perfect fit since he bypassed his senior season at Arizona State to turn pro and started only 15 games for the Sun Devils. Tall for a quarterback at 6 ft. 7 in., he originally planned to attend Gonzaga University on a basketball scholarship, but settled on an ASU football career instead. His height surely helps him spot receivers. Last year, he became just the fourth player in Pac-12 Conference history to throw for 4,000 yards.
