Prospect Update: Billy Malone

Per ProFootballScout.com writer Adam Caplan:

Cincinnati Bengals quarterbacks coach Ken Zampese worked out Abilene Christian quarterback Billy Don Malone this week.

A 26-year-old Division II star, Malone passed for 34 touchdowns and 2,944 yards last season. He only threw six interceptions.

Per ProFootballTalk.com:

Malone began his collegiate career at Tulane in 2002 as a blue-chip recruit who turned down offers from Texas, Tennessee and LSU.

According to a New York Times article, Malone had issues at Tulane, including a heart problem, a marijuana habit and a low grade point average. Since leaving Tulane, Malone has found religion, gotten married and is the father of two children.

At 6-foot-3, 230 pounds, Malone has ideal pro size and a strong arm.

Have you seen this guy play? His is poised in the backfield. He has a cannon for an arm but yet he is is accurate. He definately has the size and skills to make it as a starter in the NFL. They call him "The Mail Man".
