A draft never passes without its share of later-round success stories. San Diego State QB Ryan Lindley surely hopes to be one of them. One of six quarterbacks who played in the 2012 Senior Bowl, the 22-year-old Lindley was a four-year starter for the Aztecs, setting school records for passing yards and TDs.

We recently caught up with Lindley, and here’s what we learned about the passing prospect:

• He believes his arm strength is his top pro physical attribute. This jibes with what PFW personnel analyst Nolan Nawrocki wrote in PFW’s 2012 Draft Preview. Said Lindley: “I feel like when I get back there, I can put the ball all over the field. I don’t think there’s many throws in the NFL, or that we’ve made before, that I didn’t think I could get it there with my arm strength.”

• His accuracy needs to improve, and he knows it. Lindley never completed more than 57.7 percent of his throws in four seasons with San Diego State. Lindley said his hips — and especially his feet — will be key for him to be more pinpoint. He completed just 53 percent of his passes as a senior, something he chalked up to technique. “Everything starts from the feet up," he said. "You’ve got to have a good platform to throw from, and I kind of got a little lazy with that, and it hurt me (from) an accuracy standpoint.”
