PLAYERS
John Brantley
Position: QB
Class:  Sr
School: Florida
HT: 6'2½"
WT: 219 lbs.
40 Time: 4.95
Conference: SEC
Biography: Two-year starter who posted 60%/2,044 yards/11 touchdowns/7 interceptions as a senior after junior totals of 60.8%/2,061/9/10.

Positives: Strong-armed passer who makes questionable decisions in the pocket. Patient, flashes poise and has the wherewithal to go to secondary receivers. Looks off the safety, identifies the open receiver and puts air under deep passes. Displays good velocity on short and intermediate throws with the ability to power the ball into receivers. Throws with an over-the-top delivery and every once in a while delivers strikes to targets.

Negatives: Stares down the primary target and does not sense pressure in the pocket. Passes arrive late to receivers. Displays poor timing on throws.

Analysis: Brantley is a streaky quarterback who flashes ability on occasion only to come back and make questionable decisions. He possesses enough physical skill to make an NFL roster, but may not have the field awareness or pocket presence to ever make it off a practice squad.

Projection: FA
