Stanzi, who recently completed his college career at Iowa, has been invited to participate in the top college football all-star game, the Jan. 29 Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala.
"I'm humbled," Stanzi said on the school's website about the invitation. "To be in a position to go out there and compete with a ton of great athletes from across the country in front of NFL coaches and scouts, it's just a tremendous opportunity, and I'm very thankful to have a chance to do it."
Stanzi was Iowa's MVP on offense in 2010, and was one of five finalists for the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award, given annually to the nation's top senior quarterback. He finished his Iowa career ranked third in school history in touchdown passes (56), passing yards (7,377) and total offense (7,373).
"I think the main thing I want to show (scouts) is work ethic," said Stanzi, who threw for 3,004 yards and 25 touchdowns as a senior. "I want to go in there and really seize the opportunity, you know squeeze it for all it's worth. I want to show them that I'm willing to work, do whatever I'm told and be the hardest-working guy that I can be out there and help the team and try to learn as much as possible in the short time that I am there."
Early draft projections have Stanzi as a third- to fourth-round pick.
