A former NFL scout is out on an island when it comes to Zach Wilson.
Former NFL scout Daniel Kelly – who, incidentally, was a scout for the Jets during the Bill Parks era – absolutely No A believer in BYU quarterback Zach Wilson, now considered QB2 in the 2021 NFL Draft.
Kelly excluded Wilson in a recent scouting reportAmong other things, he would have an “unmistakable bust”, a “manufactured quarterback”, and an “interception machine” in the NFL.

Although most analysts see Wilson as the second-best quarterback prospect in the NFL Draft, Kelly said he wouldn’t draft Wilson at all: “It would be foolish to take him in the first round. Everyone fired. Successful. The best chance to happen is in a crime filled with trick plays. “
Wilson, like any other NFL prospect, is not without admission to the draft in question. Kelly, like others, points to his tendency to throw 50/50 balls, BYU’s schedule and his durability as a red flag.
Parts of the scouting report don’t matter much, though: Kelly says Wilson is an inconsistent passerby, despite being one of the most accurate passers in the country; He says that Wilson will have to adjust to throwing a big ball in the NFL, despite a negligible difference in ball size, and Wilson doesn’t think he was “born a quarterback.” whatever that means.
There are all kinds of humorous and informal analyzes coming out this time of year – see the Daniel Orlowski-Justin Fields issue – but if Wilson Does Bust, you might consider Daniel Kelly the prophet.
