Mel Kiper evaluates Austin, Little, and Quinn

Posted Oct 16, 2010

We asked Kiper if sitting out changes the evaluation process of a player. He contends, "It's going to be very difficult to slot these players against guys who have gone to post season all-star games and have a body of work." (WRAL Sports Fan)
