ESPN Top Big Ten Players: Leidner at #23

[GophersInIowa]

23. Mitch Leidner, QB, Minnesota: Mel Kiper Jr. called him a potential first-round "late riser" who's similar to Blake Bortles and Carson Wentz. That's high praise for a passer who owns a 56.4 percent career completion rate. But the fact is that you can't question Leidner's potential or toughness. He has been forced to overcome some key injuries -- here's a photo of his foot, if you happened to skip breakfast -- but he has still helped lead the Gophers to bowls in each of the three seasons he's played.

I think he is becoming reluctant to sound like a bigger idiot than he already is.

Should be higher and he will prove it! Naysayers on the board last year calling for the backup all the while his foot was dangling. I'm glad the pics were posted for others to get a sense of what he was dealing with.
