Does anybody know anything about that Vanderbilt QB Jordan Rodgers?
Looks like he isnt projected to be as good as his brother. What do you guys think?

Not updated for 2012..But what they have so far......
As with any sibling of an NFL star, Jordan will be unfairly compared to his older brother. Frankly, Jordan is shorter and possesses significantly less sizzle on his fastball than the Packers' star, and is a borderline draftable prospect entering 2012.
Some scouts feel he is only earning any attention due to the success of his brother. There are elements to his game, however, that deserve closer inspection.
Like his older brother, Jordan has quick feet and is a threat to scramble when the defense isn't paying attention. He finished second on the team a year ago with 420 rushing yards and scored four touchdowns. He also possesses very good touch and the courage to step up in the pocket and deliver passes with the defense bearing down on him. Rodgers was far from a superstar last season.
He only completed 50% of his passes and threw more interceptions (10) than touchdowns (nine) in 2011, but almost engineered upsets against Arkansas and on the road versus Florida. While these numbers fall far short of his brother's statistics in his first action at Cal (61.6% completion rate, 19 TDs-five INTs), there is enough here to keep a close eye on Rodgers' development this season as a possible late-blossoming prospect for the 2013 draft.
