He was a great college player.
The problem, as I remember it, is that the college football is a little bit smaller than the professional football.
At all the combines, Heath would always use his "own" ball, and he looked great.
But it turned out his hands were a little small, and he couldn't hold the bigger football. So his passes would keep slipping out early and overshooting.
To prevent that, he'd throw softer, and get intercepted.
That's how I remember it, anyway.
