Big-armed Rebel QB whose 2006 flash was dulled by knee trouble
In the 2006 season, Rocky Hinds flashed real ceiling at UNLV, throwing for 2,148 yards with 8 touchdowns and a 104.4 passer rating, but he also threw 13 interceptions and took a pounding behind a struggling team. He stood out as a tough, productive deep passer — in one 2006 game he hit 351 passing yards and 2 scores — yet his biggest differentiator is resilience, having returned from an ACL injury after missing 2007. If you value arm talent and grit over polish, he’s the kind of quarterback who can make a room interesting fast.
