  Draft Scout by Conference









  A few hours after Adrian Martinez announced that he was transferring away from Nebraska last winter, a restaurant full of Huskers fans greeted the dual-threat quarterback with a standing ovation when he went out for dinner. Martinez was grateful for the reception when he arrived alone at HopCat, a popular bar and grill in downtown Lincoln, that night. But he chuckles as he recalls the story. Why? Because he's still surprised no one in the place recognized the man with whom he dined: Kansas State offensive coordinator Collin Klein.

"I consider Coach Klein to be a college football legend," Martinez said. "He was incognito in the back. When I walked in people started standing and clapping for me and they didn't realize this guy, who was a Heisman Trophy finalist, was just sitting over there. I think if anyone deserved some claps it was probably him." Klein and Martinez share a strong mutual respect for each other, and that is one of the main reasons why Martinez ultimately decided to continue his college football career with the Wildcats. "Our worldview from a faith and family perspective is the same," Klein said. "Us both being quarterbacks and how we think is very similar. It was just a great fit from the get go." - The Kansas City Star
