In three-plus seasons as a starter at pass-happy North Texas, Fine showcased a quick release, savvy decision making and a knack for extending plays with his feet. He was the Conference USA offensive player of the year twice and set school records in career passing yards (12,505), passing touchdowns (93) and passer efficiency (140.68).

Fine would be one of the two shortest quarterbacks in the NFL next season if he makes a team. Of the 98 quarterbacks on NFL rosters last season, 63.3 percent were 6-foot-3 or taller and only Arizona’s Kyler Murray and Seattle’s Russell Wilson were listed as shorter than 6 feet.

Consider Fine lucky to be trying to break into the NFL now rather than a decade ago. The league has ever so slowly begun to embrace quarterbacks who stand around the 6-foot mark or just shy of it, as long as they possess uncommon arm strength and athleticism.
