Entering the Draft, QB Trace McSorley Is Used to Having to Convince His Skeptics

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — It's coming and he knows it, and there's no avoiding it.

One of the greatest players in the long and storied history of Penn State football is just another guy. Again.

"I've been through this before," Trace McSorley says without a hint of hesitation. "It's kind of been a never-ending story on repeat."

Not tall enough, not big enough. Decent arm strength. Doesn't look the part.

Over and over and over since the first time he picked up a football in grade school. It's not suddenly going to change this week at the Senior Bowl, when the idea of playing quarterback in the NFL comes squarely into focus.
