Quarterback

The Future of NFL Quarterbacks - Aaron Hilson After the emergence of Dak Prescott in the NFL this season- managing to lead the Dallas Cowboys to a 10-1 record. What’s different about him? The Cowboys had their franchise quarterback in Tony Romo for the longest time and were still a winning team. Now they’re in first place. Dak Prescott has put up big numbers this season after just coming out of Mississippi state. When talking about quarterbacks you need to go back to before the NFL; the NCAA. Out of the last seven Heisman winners- six of them have been quarterbacks. You expect this as they touch the ball on every snap thus picking up more yards. The interesting thing is that these six quarterbacks are all dual-threat. By that I mean…

Quarterbacks in the NFL Future first round hall of famer Payton manning once said “I think I could describe the perfect quarterback. Take a little piece of everybody.

When I looked around the practice field, I saw nothing but cameras, media people, and news stations. Since I played quarterback, the spot light was on me the entire practice. I am not going to lie; I was kind of nervous at first until I got in rhythm. Overall our first practice of the day went well, considering it was at the crack of dawn and half of us were still sleepy. The weather was perfect New Orleans weather, Seventy- eight with low humidity and a light breeze. At the end of the first…

The reason the Patriots are in the Super Bowl for the 7th time in Tom Brady’s career is because of his leadership and consistency on and off the field. On the field he picks apart all the defenses in the NFL. He doesn’t have to have good receivers to make them good. He makes them good because of his work ethic in practice and his timing and his accuracy. Brady was suspended the first four games of the year this season and he still ended the season with MVP numbers. He finished with 28 touchdowns…

gone. As with many teams, I feel like I didn’t give it my best effort in the first week. But I’m getting back in the swing of things and I know it’s more important to finish strong. So hopefully this week’s breakdown will be better than the last one, but not as good as the next one. No team can win it all in the first few weeks, but the wheels can come off at anytime. The early part of the season is all about staying relevant and putting yourself in a position where a late run can get you…
