'06 NFL Draft Interview: Matt Leinart - GoTitans.com
...Our second interview is with Todd Harmonson of the Orange County Register...

...What do you feel are Leinart's strengths? Weaknesses?
He’s a winner. Ignore all his tools -- and he has plenty -- and focus on what matters the most in football. Every teammate trusted him to lead USC, and he repeatedly delivered when the Trojans needed him. And, if there had been a little more time on the clock in the Rose Bowl after Texas’ final touchdown, he probably would have done it again. His other obvious strength is his ability to master his offense and read what opposing defenses will give him. Focusing on these strengths makes it seem as if he doesn’t have physical gifts, but that’s a mistaken perception. He has a strong arm, throws an extremely catchable ball, an uncanny pocket awareness and the toughness to take a hit.

Leinart has far fewer weaknesses. He certainly could be more consistent on his deep balls, but he has the strength to throw them...
