DeShone Kizer: I have Tom Brady’s brain in Cam Newton’s body

Former Notre Dame quarterback DeShone Kizer is certainly not lacking for confidence.

Kizer told Tom Pelissero of USA Today that he believes he has a combination of Tom Brady’s brain and Cam Newton’s body and can put that together into one package that can be the best quarterback in NFL history.

“Name a college quarterback who goes into the game-plan meetings on Monday and throws his notes at the coaches,” Kizer said. “No one else game plans the way I do. No one else prepares the way I do. No one else knows football the way I do. No one else is as big as I am. No one else is as powerful a runner as I am. Pat Mahomes might throw the ball 80 yards and I can only throw the ball 72, but I guarantee he can’t throw an out route the way I can. No one else can do what I can do. And I’ve truly figured out in this process, if I can maximize all my potential in every aspect of the game – this is bold – I do have the ability to be the greatest quarterback to ever play. Imagine taking Brady’s intellect and Brady’s preparation and putting it on a guy with Cam Newton’s body. Why can’t I be the greatest? The only thing stopping me from it is me. That’s what’s driving me now.”

Whether Kizer actually has the same mind for football as Brady would be difficult to measure, but he doesn’t have Newton’s body: Kizer is shorter than Newton, lighter than Newton and did worse than Newton on every test of speed and agility at the Scouting Combine.

NFL teams like players with confidence, but Kizer’s confidence may come across as arrogance to some NFL teams. If there’s a case of a player taking his confidence too far, this may be it.

ROFL At least he's confident.

[Hammock Parties]

He ran a 4.83 LMAO

[Titty Meat]

It is 4/20

[kccrow]

He's right, Pat Mahomes can't throw an out route like he can. Kizer misses every single fucking one by 3 yards and Mahomes is money.


Sounds more like he has Ryan Leaf's brain. 50 year old hookers in the red light district run faster than he does... Cam Newton... JFC.

Kid is a dipshit

[Mr. Laz]

He has neither.

[CleveSteve]

Draft this beast.

[LoneWolf]

Kizer is going to be the best QB to come out of the 2017 draft.

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

An African American QB from Notre Dame?

Oh yeah; he's goin' to The Hall!

[Chief Northman]

"Look at me! Look at me!"

I was wanting to like this petulant child, but this takes the cake. You compare yourself to the GOAT, another MVP qb, yet you have yet to take a snap. On top of that, you try to make yourself look better than another prospect through a totally unsubstantiated claim (Mahomes).

What a fucking head case. Pass.

[RunKC]

It was said that this kid was pouty. I can see that all over his quote. I can't back this dude anymore. He's a complete nut job.

Good grief

[RealSNR]

This is the 2nd most laughable thing to be said by a Notre Dame player in front of the media in the past 5 years.

The worst was when Manti Te'o said, "I love my dead girlfriend."

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Will be fun dubbing him a turd in a few years

How many National Championships do Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, Ben Roethlesburger, Andrew Luck, Russell Wilson, Derek Carr, Matt Stafford, and Phillip Rivers have combined? For that matter, how many do Trubisky, Mahomes, and Webb have?

[staylor26]

I don't see the big deal. The guys HC won't even give him a vote of confidence so he has to do it himself.

I really don't either. He has to try and sell himself somehow because he couldn't stay on the field last year to show how great he is.

And to seal it....how many does AJ McCarron have?

[wazu]

Eh, I like the confidence/ambition.

Good interview with Kizer here: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000802011/article/deshone-kizer-losing-season-with-nd-my-biggest-advantage

Follow link for video. Im impressed with how he handled those questions regarding his statements on Brady and Cam, as well as how he explained losing is an advantage for him.

So does that mean you're off the Cooper Rush hype train?

So now you're saying that Kizer is the next HOF caliber QB? jfc

[SAGA45]

lol! Nope! Just have a gut feeling the Chiefs draft that dude...either him or Dobbs. I'll let it go when he's on another team.

"Just a gut feeling"

Is it a gut feeling, or are you just taking the shittiest game managery QBs in a given draft class and saying, "Yup. There's Andy Reid's QB! I got a feeling, man!"

What's more is are you going to do this every fucking year? Look at all the QBs with 5th-7th round grades and pick the one with the highest floor to be the QB the Chiefs draft that year?

How is my calling out your comment of "so good he couldn't do shit for Notre Dame" as the dumbest fucking thing you've posted in awhile in any way me saying that Kizer is a HOF caliber QB? I was simply pointing out that most good/great QBs don't play on college teams that have a lot of success. I could have used a different list of players like Tony Romo, Kirk Cousins, Matt Stafford, and Derek Carr to make my point.

"Game managery" ROFL ....Not at all. Only this year....and primarily Cooper Rush.

Other than that it's random ....gut feelings the Chiefs will draft a guy and/or he will turn out ok in the league. I get vibes on busts too. Last major one was Dion Jordan.

Did you predict the Chiefs would draft Kevin Hogan last year?

Nope. The guy I thought for sure they would grab was Dak Prescott

[DRM08]

QB Graveyard aka Cleveland Browns. Very appropriate destination for Kizer considering his comments about Brady, Newton, and even Mahomes. I was not impressed with Kizer at the Combine. Missed a ton of easy throws.
