Things @MelKiperESPN does NOT care about when evaluating a QB:
-His pro day
-His 40 time
-His vertical jump— Get Up (@GetUpESPN) March 23, 2021
Popular NFL college analyst Mel Kiper was quick to comment on the age-old testing parameters being used to judge quarterback prospects ahead of a draft. But he does not agree with all of these so-called ‘tests’.
He said, “Dinosaurs are quarterbacks who can’t move and can’t yell and obviously affect the game with their legs. But I look at Tom Brady at age 43, still winning a Super Bowl and what Drew Brees was able to do at age 41.

“I say the three things guys you should care less about that make no sense when you talk about quarterbacks that don’t even factor into the evaluation are #1 – Pro Days.

“So those are three things that people talk about pro days, verticals, and 40-yard dash times have never defined what type of quarterback they will be when they transition from college to Pro,” Kiper said on the show.
