He sent them tape of him calling plays while on his knees.

Congratulations to AVP

AVP was the QB when I went to Pitt and he was a pistol slinging the ball around. He has carved out a very good career and would love him to come back to Pitt some day in some capacity. H2P

He had one of the best ball fakes when he ran play action that I've ever seen. The guy was a good college QB. He threw for over 11,000 yards and 66 TD's in his Pitt career

He was never afraid to sling it as his interceptions indicated

He did throw a lot of picks but so did guys like Marino . It was a different time when DB's were allowed to bump and hand check more than they can do today.

Teams also mostly threw the ball way down field far more often back then, and those are the passes that are more likely to be intercepted or incomplete.
