Can I make a huge homer honorable mention pick?
"yeah, sure, go ahead", said the crowd.
Okay, here goes then.
From a pure "arm talent' perspective, Tyler Bray remains the best I've ever seen. The guy could throw a 50 yard laser off his back foot with a flick of the wrist. His release was just crazy fast. The guy was a 6-6 and like a buck eighty and ran maybe a 5.4 40, and yet he was virtually unsackable. If there is a guy who got the ball out of his hands quicker, I never saw him play in college.
He also had touch like Manziel. He didn't Elway every pass 100 mph into receivers ten yards away from him. Touch. Catchable throws. But a cannon, and not a Jamarcus Russell cannon that flew 20 yards long every fourth throw. An accurate cannon. And one that seemed soft and fluffy to boot. No matter how far he threw the ball, it seemed to sort of just put on the brakes in mid-air about two feet from his intended receiver's hands, and then nicely drop in there in a catchable manner.
None of what I am saying here is sarcasm. I said for three years that the guy's right arm may have actually been a magic wand.
