Get To Know The Bears’ Draft Prospects: The “Other” Quarterbacks

-

Brad Kaaya

Kaaya is a weird story. Had he come out a year ago, he’d have been one of the top quarterbacks drafted. But he chose to return to the University of Miami for another year and his stock has drastically reduced according to draft experts.

He has experience taking snaps under center and is a pro-style passer, which gives him an edge, much like Peterman. He can read the entire field and can run through progressions quickly enough. He doesn’t have the strongest arm, but at least he understands that and doesn’t try to take ridiculous chances. He has good mechanics and footwork overall.

But he’s another guy whose accuracy and ball placement is suspect. As mentioned, his arm strength may be questionable as far as NFL-standards are concerned. He struggles with the deep ball and intermediate routes as well.

Overall, to me, he’s a perfect example of “meh”. There’s not a lot to get excited about overall. He has the intangibles but that’s about it. His NFL.com pro comparison is Cody Kessler. Like I said, “meh”.
