I haven’t watched every player yet, so the guys I picked are mostly players I’ve seen on film — I might miss a few names.

Brendan Sorsby – QB, Texas Tech
Draft Projection: Round 2-3
Comparison: Sam Darnold
Overall: 69
Potential: 84

Summary:
Brendan Sorsby is a physically gifted dual-threat quarterback with NFL-caliber arm talent, mobility, and the ability to create explosive plays both inside and outside of structure. At 6’3”, 235 pounds, Sorsby combines a strong frame with above-average athleticism, allowing him to absorb contact, extend plays, and stress defenses as a runner when protection breaks down. He flashes the ability to drive throws into tight windows, layer passes over defenders, and manipulate coverage with his eyes, particularly in intermediate areas of the field. While his traits and playmaking ability stand out, inconsistency under pressure, occasional reckless decision-making, and undeveloped processing against disguised coverages currently limit his overall ceiling. Sorsby projects as a developmental NFL starter with intriguing upside in a modern spread or play-action heavy offense.

Strengths

• Possesses high-level arm talent with the ability to generate velocity and attack all levels of the field.
• Demonstrates impressive touch and placement on intermediate throws between linebackers and safeties.
• Strong, durable frame allows him to absorb hits and maintain functionality through contact in the pocket.
• Dangerous dual-threat athlete with the speed and vision to create explosive plays as a runner.
• Shows solid pocket mobility by climbing, sliding, and adjusting launch angles against pressure.
• Maintains relatively disciplined ball security with low turnover numbers across multiple seasons.
• Flashes the ability to manipulate defenders with his eyes and work backside concepts effectively.
• Capable of extending plays outside structure while keeping his eyes downfield to create off-script completions.

Weaknesses

• Processing speed against disguised coverages remains inconsistent and can lead to hesitation or forced throws.
• Will abandon clean pockets too early when sensing pressure instead of trusting protection.
• Footwork becomes rushed under pressure, negatively impacting accuracy and ball placement.
• Tends to hunt explosive plays rather than taking easy checkdowns or throwing the ball away.
• Recent performances against stronger defenses exposed inconsistency with poise and decision-making under pressure.
• Accuracy can fluctuate when forced off his first read or when defenses speed up his internal clock.
• Mechanics lose consistency late in reps, especially when throwing while retreating or off-platform unnecessarily.
• Still developing anticipation and timing versus tighter NFL throwing windows.
