NFL coaches concerned about Tyler Bray’s work ethic

Tennessee’s Pro Day will take place on Wednesday, and no one doubts that quarterback Tyler Bray will show off an NFL-ready arm. The problem for Bray is that there’s a lot more to being an NFL quarterback than having a strong arm.

Bray, who left Tennessee with a year of eligibility remaining, will face questions about his accuracy and about his preparation, and those are questions that a player really can’t answer sufficiently in the scripted environment of a Pro Day. NFL Network’s Mike Mayock says the only way Bray could have answered those questions was to return to Tennessee for his senior season and put those questions to rest on the field.

“I was really surprised he came out,” Mayock said of Bray. “I thought he should have come back and refined his name a little more. If you ask me, who are the quarterbacks with the most arm talent in this draft, he’d certainly be in the top three. He can wing it. There’s no doubt about that. however, the ball’s all over the place. He’s inconsistent from an accuracy perspective, and you also have to get comfortable with the kid. What kind of kid is he? What kind of work ethic does he have? There are some concerns there from several of the coaches I talk to.”

Bray will surely be drafted, because a quarterback with that kind of arm always gets a shot in the NFL. But he probably won’t be drafted where he thought he would have when he decided to enter the NFL draft.

Maybe we can draft Geno Bray and Wilson. Heaven.

I still think he would be a great pick with our late 3rd rounder, the compensatory pick. I wouldn't touch him before that. He compares to Ryan mallet. Mallet was taken in the late 3rd.

This is amazing insight, are you his roommate?

He says something along those lines in that interview.

Bray will either develop into a good, gun slinger type QB or a Jeff George / Ryan Leaf / JaMarcus Russell (all rolled into one) type bust.

There won't be an in between with him he'll either be a superstar or he'll be out of the league in 4 years.

He's no Cassel

ghak99 · 03-20-2013, 08:46 PM

I wouldn't mind gambling on him with the 3rd round comp pick... as long as he removed that gay ass tat!

Can't help but think, with the name "Bray", gotta be a Donkey.

**hometeam** · 03-20-2013, 08:58 PM

Might as well take a flyer on him if he drops to comp pick. I think he goes mid/late 3rd.

I don't know if its true or not, but I read that the only head coach at the Tenn pro day was Tomlin. I thought that was odd with their WRs having good draft grades.

All 32 were there

If you take a chance on him, you need to hire an extra QB coach just to be his life coach/mentor. He won't get enough of the regular coaching staff's time to ever come close to his potential. Drafting him is basically a Hail Mary.
