record-setting Sooners passer with big-time production
In the 2012 season, Landry Jones remained the definition of a high-volume, high-upside Oklahoma quarterback: a polished pocket passer with elite career production, finishing his Sooners run with 16,646 passing yards and 123 touchdowns, both school records and among the most prolific totals in FBS history. He fit best in an offense that let him distribute quickly, read coverages well, and lean on accuracy and experience over improvisation. The catch: he was more classic dropback surgeon than scramble wizard, so teams valuing mobility or off-script creation may have wanted more juice.
