Chris Hawkins is the truth. If you don't believe it, you can watch him lockdown receivers and breakup passes with his thumb in a cast. Better yet, take a close look at Hawkins as he explodes through his hips, in and out of a smooth backpedal. The 2013 USC commit is just as advertised.

Since its inception in 1999, ESPN Rise’s Elite 11 quarterback competition has provided an invaluable service in the development of highly touted high school prep athletes preparing for the college level.

Previous participants include Tim Tebow, Matt Leinart, Vince Young and Matthew Stafford, all currently in the NFL.
