QB Pat Devlin - 6’4” 220 lbs. - Delaware
Strong-armed senior passer put up impressive numbers in ‘’09 after transferring from Penn St. He hopes to follow former Blue Hen QB Joe Flacco on to the NFL stage. He threw for over 2600 passing yards and is the highest rated small college passer this fall. With a strong fine performance, he will probably earn an invite to a major All-star game. He combines fine physical tools with the athleticism and quality intangibles and instincts to become a solid NFL passer with some development. He has the touch that allows his receivers to make a play on the ball, though he needs to improve his accuracy to ever earn an NFL starting grade. For a passer of his size, he moves fairy well in the pocket and usually makes sound decisions under pressure with the ability to pick up secondary receivers. He shows the ability to adjust quickly when plays brake down. His final performance will determine if he becomes an elite top pro prospect or a good developmental type who needs further time to refine his game.
This season he sustained both a wrist injury and a concussion in an early October game, but he returned vs Maine and had one of his best performances during his Delaware career.
