Cutler admits he is somewhat uncomfortable with his sudden surge up the draft board.
"I'm a confident guy, but I know in my heart of hearts that I'm not capable of being an NFL star or even a decent starter," he said. "And I'm not sure I want to go down as a historic draft bust like a Ryan Leaf or Heath Shuler. It would be great to get the type of money that comes with being a Top 5 pick, but is all that worth being a punchline your whole life? I don't think it is. That's why I have half a mind to tell every NFL team: 'Look, I appreciate your interest in me, but honestly Ð I'm not nearly as good as you've somehow let yourself believe I am. Just draft me late in the first round or in the second round and I'll be a serviceable backup my entire career, I promise.' I just think that if I'm honest with everyone now, it might save me a lot of grief in the long run."
