    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Better late than never when it comes to Booker, who ended a disappointing season with an excellent Emerald Bowl against UCLA. With Florida State's offensive line turning in one of its better performances and consistently getting hats on defenders, Booker was able to get into space, where he is at his best. He showed great vision, patience and elusiveness, whether it was on a simple hand-off or after the catch. Scouts also were able to see Booker's versatility, as he motioned into the slot at times. One substantial area of concern, however, is his penchant for taking losses. Against UCLA, Booker was tackled for losses totaling 30 yards.It's hard to believe Booker has moved up any draft boards at this point. After all, he continued to have problems this season picking up tough yards in short-yardage situations and often tried to make too much happen rather than picking up what he could when the hole wasn't there. However, there is reason for hope. Booker's athleticism and speed should shine through at the combine and during workouts. In addition, scouts will take the poor offensive line play and instability at quarterback into consideration</div>
