Greg A. Bedard, of the Palm Beach Post, reports Bowling Green QB Omar Jacobs is still being questioned because of his unorthodox sidearm delivery.

Linehan said, "That throwing motion thing is way overrated. I think your anticipation and your ability to get the ball in the receiver's hands is the key more so than the motion. He's a proven player and I think he's a guy who can go help whoever takes him and be very effective. He's proven it."
