This summer, the National Football Post is breaking down every team in the Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly known as Division I-A) to identify players who might warrant interest from NFL teams in the 2010 draft.

The West Virginia Mountaineers return a talented group of skill position prospects and again are expected to compete for the Big East title.

Offense

Jarrett Brown: No. 16, QB. 6'3", 222

APQuarterback Jarrett Brown

A physically gifted quarterback with the athleticism to buy time in the pocket and make plays with his feet. Displays good coordination on the move and does a nice job keeping his eyes down the field and creating big plays when things break down. Is a dual run/pass threat once he gets on the perimeter and possesses good touch down the field. Looks very comfortable when asked to improvise.

Possesses a strong arm, although his accuracy gets a bit erratic at times. Doesn’t have the most compact of throwing motions, and his passes underneath tend to nose dive on him and fall at the receiver’s feet. Lacks awareness and overall experience in the pass game and struggles going through his progressions quickly from the pocket. Doesn’t consistently get rid of the ball on time and looks more comfortable using his athletic ability to break containment and create outside.

Impression: Possesses an impressive athletic skill set, but he still has a long way to go as a pocket passer. Looks more like an intriguing developmental guy at the next level.
