High school senior. Quarterbacks are my self-proclaimed expertise.
Photo via GettyImages For most of the season, I reared away from the NFL Draft, leaving me to know little about this class as a whole. Though, I do know many “draftniks” (who made this word?) have been down on the safety class, claiming that there is not a star at the top and the depth…
CBS: 6th defensive tackle. SBNation: 5th defensive tackle. OptimumScouting: 6th defensive tackle. NFL: 4th defensive tackle. All of these rankings were given to Ohio State’s Michael Bennett, and these rankings were often accompanied by a “second round grade/projection” comment. To some, Bennett is even a candidate to be a late first round selection. Quite frankly, I…
A lot of us do not want to admit it, but there is legitimate reason to be concerned with collegiate spread quarterbacks making the jump to the NFL. That does not mean that players from these systems can not overcome the tendencies and issues that a spread system ingrains, but the tendencies and issues are…
Most everyone in the football universe knew who Christian Hackenberg was before he took a single collegiate snap. To many who were close to the recruiting setting, Hackenberg was the best quarterback recruit to come out in years. Arm, size, composure and mental ability; he had it all. From day one, it was pretty clear…
More so than for any other position, charting can be used as a critical tool in evaluating quarterbacks. Charting provides context. What that means is that a general Yards Per Attempt statistic or completion percentage won’t tell you where the quarterback wins/loses, in regards to throwing to different areas of the field, whereas charting can….
Earlier, I took a look back at 10 pre-2013 quarterback prospects (2013 was my first “scouting” year, hence why that was the cut-off). In that piece, over half were from 2011 and 2012, making it a rather recent glance backwards, for the most part. In this installment of the same series, quarterbacks from the mid-2000’s and…
By now, anyone that has visited the site more than once or knows me well knows that quarterbacks are my niche. They’re infinitely more interesting than any other position; quarterback is the greatest position in all of sports. I, being 17 years old and having never seen college games of some of these players I…
The NFL Draft is now an integral part of the NFL season for fans as it has become a nationally televised and highly publicized event. As would be expected, the incoming rookie quarterbacks are the most speculated group of each class due to their critical role in the success of a team (and how sad/desperate a handful…
Flashback, it’s 2012. The San Francisco 49ers offense is struggling and they have turned to a second year player out of Nevada to take over the offense. In the final seven regular season games, the young quarterback scores 14 total touchdowns while only turning the ball over five times. He was fast, he had a…
