Former Kansas State wide receiver Chris Harper, a fourth-round pick of the Seattle Seahawks this year who is now with the San Francisco 49ers, started his college career at Oregon as a quarterback before moving to receiver and transferring to Kansas State. He told me last season that the best way he helped his quarterback, Collin Klein, is that he talked about the game with him through "quarterback eyes." Having played that position, he could come to the sideline or the huddle with things for Klein and give it to him like a quarterback would see it. He was not just seeing the game from the perspective of a receiver because he had played quarterback. He could communicate like a quarterback. It's one of the reasons New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton is such a great play caller. He's a former quarterback, and he calls the game like one. He sees the game like a quarterback.
