If I remember correctly, he was at USC before transferring to a FCS school. Championship!

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

I knew there was a reason to bypass all them young and promising QBS in the draft. And that was to sign these Arena League-skill level backup QBs.

 

[VACowboy]

Corp can play. I'd love to see him get some time on the field. He get any run in Buffalo?

 

[Eddie]

Move along.

Nothing to see here.

 

[conner01]

[Doomsday101]

Extra arm for mini camps and training camp.

Never know where the next Kurt Warner will show up.

I actually liked Corp as a late round project last year. He's got the size and tools to be a decent QB. No better or worse than Stevens or Williams really, could easily beat those 2 out and stick around as the primary PS QB ready for a call up if an injury occurs.

Well, young maybe. Promising? Not really. Besides, why draft another QB when you just locked up Romo for 6 years? You could try to develop and trade, but a lot of times that ends up being a waste of a pick.

Funny, I thought the weak draft class for QBs was the reason, as evidenced by all those other teams not overreaching for once.

I remember a few folks around here talking about Corp. Very cool!

USC quarterback Aaron Corp, who won the starting job last spring but was displaced by Matt Barkley after being injured in training camp, announced Thursday that he was transferring to the University of Richmond.
Corp will begin classes at Richmond on Monday and participate in spring practice. He has two seasons of eligibility remaining and can play in the coming season because Richmond is in the Football Championship Subdivision, formerly known as Division I-AA.

"Richmond allowed me the opportunity to compete and play right away and I was very comfortable meeting with Coach [Latrell] Scott and his staff," Corp said in a statement. "The university has a tremendous football program and is nationally recognized for its academics, especially in my major of international studies."
Corp's transfer was not unexpected after a season in which Coach Pete Carroll and quarterbacks coach Jeremy Bates refused to consider replacing Barkley, even when the freshman struggled throughout most of the second half of a 9-4 season.
Carroll said he was happy for Corp.
"He'll get a chance to play right now," Carroll said. "I think it's a big statement about Matt Barkley. Aaron's a great kid and I hope nothing but the very best for him."
Corp appeared on his way to becoming Mark Sanchez's successor before he suffered a leg injury in August.

Except the Bills of course.

As a point of reference, National Football Post ranked Corp slightly ahead of Russell Wilson heading into last year's draft. Ourlads had him as the #8 QB prospect based on Combine performance, fwiw.

1. Robert Griffin, Baylor
2. Jordan Jefferson, LSU
3. Andrew Luck, Stanford
4. Russell Wilson, Wisconsin
5. Austin Davis, Southern Miss
6. Chandler Harnish, Northern Illinois
7. Darron Thomas, Oregon
8. Aaron Corp, Richmond
11. Nick Foles, Arizona
12. Kirk Cousins, Michigan State
Did Not Work Out:
B J Coleman
Brock Osweiler
Ryan Tannehill
Brandon Weeden
