Opinions on former USC quarterback Matt Barkley continue to vary.
There has been a lot of talk about whether Barkley hurt his NFL stock when he returned to school after a terrific 2011 season. He didn't play as well in 2012 for the Trojans.
"I don't think Barkley really hurt himself," an AFC college scouting director said.
"He was the same guy last year. He didn't start falling in October, no matter where he was on everyone's 'big board' in December. I looked at Barkley (after his junior year), and I thought he was a backup quarterback. I told people, 'I'm not sold.' And it was the same thing this year. In the end, I don't think he hurt himself."
