It's so hard to tell.
In the Pac-10 how would Ryan Leaf and Joey Harrington be compared.
Both won the Rose Bowl and both flopped in the NFL.

I think there's a lot more focus now on teams doing their due dilligence in investigating character than there was then. He may be part of the reason why. Still, there's no doubt that some scouting staffs fall in love with a skill set and get blinded to other stuff.
I would't want to compare the situations of Harrington and Leaf because I don't know enough about Harrington. I think he got thrown into a horrible situation nd was set up to fail, and if I remember correctly, he did suffer a lot of injuries in those first couple of seasons in Detroit.
