"Obviously, I know me and I feel like I have the best arm of the bunch,'' Freeman said. "I feel like when it comes down to it, the ability to make something happen and extend plays is my X factor. I'm a big guy, a strong guy, extremely hard to sack. And I feel my ability to avoid the sack and make something happen in the end is what I do better.''
So why was Freeman selected so much later than Stafford and Sanchez?
"I think it comes down the school I went to,'' Freeman said. "I mean, I've worked out with both those guys. I think they're really good. I'd take me over them. I think it comes down to they went to Georgia, which is a good, competitive team in the SEC and Mark Sanchez went to USC, who pretty much wins the Pac-10 every year. I think it really came down to them going to better schools and winning more games and stuff like that, that had me going 17th or dropping this low.
"Like I said, they're good quarterbacks. I don't take anything away from them. If I had a pick, I'd take myself.
"I feel I'm the better quarterback but they're getting more of the hype. I have the rest of my career to prove that I'm the best guy and I'm looking to do everything in my power to make that so.''
