Johnson mentioned that he feels McKnight has been greatly aided in the early transition stages from college football to the NFL by virtue of the big games and sophisticated offensive philosophy McKnight played in under Notre Dame Head Coach Charlie Weis.
"He is coming out of a very sophisticated system, with many similarities to some of the things we do," said Johnson said of Notre Dame's and the Saints' top-ranked offense last season. "He understands the game of football and a lot of the intricacies about offensive sets that young players often don't have at the same stage of their careers that he has right now. That is a credit to what he learned under Charlie Weis."

---------Maybe now dumbass NFL people will realize this before the draft and not pass on Quinn and McKnight.[/QUOTE
I agree it is great to see quotes like this straight from NFL coaches. I hope potential recruits such as Floyd read about this, and how prepared he will be for the NFL if he attends ND.
Out of the ND undrafted players he suprised me the most. Dude definently deserved to be drafted.
