NFL.com: Jacoby Brissett a Top-50 Pick
This week NFL.com ranked the Top-75 Senior Prospects for the 2016 NFL Draft, and they broke each prospect down by putting them in one of the following categories: “top-20”, “top-50”, “top-80”, or “top-120” picks.
NC State’s Jacoby Brissett made the Top-75, and was ranked in the Top-50 category. Here is what they had to say about the Wolfpack QB:
It’s tough to watch Brissett (6-foot-4, 235 pounds) without thinking of Colin Kaepernick. Brissett’s build, elusiveness in the open field and strong arm will intrigue teams looking for a playmaker with the ability to connect with receivers from the pocket. The Florida transfer wasn’t always in tune last season (4-for-18 passing for 35 yards vs. Clemson), but shined against Florida State (32-for-48, 359 yards, 3 TDs); more performances like the one he had against a strong Seminoles defense will push him from a “project” to an elite prospect who could be picked even earlier than Kaepernick (second round, No. 36 overall in 2011).
