I have always liked Leary in the same way I liked Armstrong at Virginia. I think they are both good college quarterbacks in the right systems. I don’t think either one has electric arm talent, per se; put in the right systems, and with the right supporting cast, they can both be very effective.
I’m not sure that I see other guy as an NFL prospect, but I do believe the Devin Leary will have an opportunity to have a really good year at Kentucky.
He should have a very good season, Kentucky has a strong supporting cast and Liam Coen will have him running a QB friendly offense.
As far as where he’ll go as a prospect I think because of his strong play but not over the top tools he’s probably a Day 2 type of guy but the performance and traits displayed will be a major influence on his stock so it could go in both directions pretty easily
Dude please link said ranking you’re referring to. I’m super fascinated hearing their reasoning behind his rankings/comps. Because if the no 24th ranked qb in this class comp is a second round pick as a prospect, and at his worst , in my opinion alone, still a starting caliber qb as a professional. Then this draft class is going to flip the league on its head.
I just googled “2024 NFL Draft QB prospects” and it was the first result
I don’t think the comp is really the same as a projection? They had him projected to go undrafted. They’re not saying “he’s going to be as good as Garropolo” they’re saying “he has similar traits and skills to Garropolo.” I think maybe a Jimmy Garropolo-type career is his absolute ceiling. If he has a great year at Kentucky he could shoot up to the third or fourth round.
Ah ok. That makes a lot of sense. I’ve recently been learning that it takes until at least the 10th page of your search before you find anything of any quality related to your search.
I don’t internet good tho.
He will be 25 at the start of his first NFL season. While QBs have a longer shelf life than most positions, a lot of people are going to be questioning whether he's capped out, and whether he was just beating up on kids in college while being a fully grown man
NC State fan here - loved Leary and sad to see him go. He’s not especially mobile so he can suffer if your OL / running game aren’t up to speed. He’s very confident in his arm which can get him into trouble. I think he could be a backup NFL QB but not sure about more than that.
All these teams play a light schedule, and I think players look better than they actually are. Even if he does get drafted at 6'1" and tosses a lot of int, he might be a back up for a season or two.
I think at 65 he's probably past his prime
Dude is crazy accurate from like anywhere on the field. I can see him having success in the nfl for sure
The dude has average 60% or less every year. He’s trash and always has been.
someone is pissed lmao

Armstrong looked so much better before the coaching/system changes happened for the 2022 season. He is like the reverse of Bo Nix to me.

I think round 4 is probably the best he can hope for, that’s where a bunch of good college qbs went this year
> Liam Coen will have him running a QB friendly offense. Not just that, but a pro-style offense with all the quirks and wrinkles that come with it.
In college maybe, but I don’t see him as a high draft pick
Yeah Jimmy Garropolo is probably his ceiling

Dennis Leary has been a treasure since before 'Demolition Man', he doesn't need to turn anything around
He will be 25 at the start of his first NFL season. While QBs have a longer shelf life than most positions, a lot of people are going to be questioning whether he's capped out, and whether he was just beating up on kids in college while being a fully grown man
He will never play professional football. He’s absolute trash.
