MOBILE, Ala. -- Undoubtedly, the Chicago Bears need to add a receiving threat to quarterback Jay Cutler's arsenal of offensive weaponry.

The problem seems to be that none of the receivers at the 63rd annual Senior Bowl has emerged, according to several scouts in attendance.

One small-school prospect -- Brian Quick, of Appalachian State -- managed to catch the eyes of Chicago Bears scouts during the week's workouts. But one of the team's personnel evaluators cautioned against becoming overly giddy about Quick's prospects because despite "all his upside, he's really raw."

Appalachian State's all-time leader in receptions (202), receiving yards (3,418) and touchdown receptions (31), Quick (6-3 5/8, 209 pounds) is described by Scouts Inc. as being "a gifted athlete with excellent body control and ability to make highlight reel catch. However, hands are a bit inconsistent. Will have an occasional drop and/or double catch with routine throws. Does a nice job of using big frame to shield defenders and shows ability to climb the ladder to win one-on-one battles."

Quick's relative rawness stems from the fact he didn't play football until his senior year at Ridge View High School in Columbia, SC. Prior to joining his high school football team, Quick played on the basketball team as the starting point guard, which is somewhat interesting considering the Bears have said in the past -- with Mike Martz was the offensive coordinator -- that they covet point-guard types at the receiver position.

Quick struggled to catch passes Monday during his team's first Senior Bowl practice at Ladd-Peebles Stadium, but quickly settled in over the next few days while matched up against some of the county's best cornerbacks to generate a buzz among personnel evaluators in attendance. Still, it's worth noting that several times throughout the week of workouts coaches often pulled aside Quick after drills to make corrections because of what appeared to be shoddy footwork and imprecise routes.

Despite that, reporters waiting to speak with Quick after most workouts ended up waiting in line behind the various teams looking to learn more about the receiver.

"I don't think I'm there yet [in terms of polish]," Quick said. "But when the ball is around me, I feel like I'm the type of guy that will go and get it. I've had a couple of drops out here, but I'm out here getting used to these quarterbacks and this atmosphere. It's different [than what I'm used to]. It's been a challenge coming into the kind of offense we've been running out here."

Quick is the eighth-rated prospect at his position, and while Scouts Inc. lauds the his work ethic, the receiver is projected to be a second-day pick.
