Locker's always shown flashes though. He only threw 66 balls last year - essentially two starting games worth. He might have made the big progress or he could have done just like he did with the Huskies where he'd look brilliant for stretches and then have games where his mechanics fail him and he overthrows everyone. The increased practice time of the NFL schedule over NCAA restrictions likely helped him immensely though.
