Father Mike was an All-American defensive end at Michigan and a third-round NFL draft pick of the Dallas Cowboys...Began his college career at Arizona State where he backed up Andrew Walter but transferred in '06 amid controversy after losing his starting job to Rudy Carpenter...Missed a lot of action due to an assortment of injuries and had his senior season cut short by a broken collarbone..Was cited for disturbing the peace in 2007...Developmental signal caller who has some physical tools to work with..Could surprise if he can stay healthy...Worth a late round flyer.
