sacks count against QB rushing yards and add attempts in college (double whammie).

he has "elite" 4.7 speed :P that's still slower than most NFL linebackers, so no, he'll never be a rushing QB.

rushing gains:
2004: 150
2003: 215
2002: 348
2001: 212

total 925/40 = ~23 yards a game. usually you get less in the NFL due to increased defensive speed, so outside of picking up a few yards when nothing's open, he won't be running around.
