Stock Down: Brad Kaaya

Brad Kaaya didn’t play as poorly as Mitch Trubisky or Deshaun Watson in week 11, however it was another performance from the junior that will have NFL scouts contemplating whether or not the Miami quarterback is a future first-round pick.

Against Virginia, the 109th ranked defense in terms of opponent’s QB rating, Kaaya was only able to manage 228 yards through the air. His 48 percent completion rate was the worst since he faced Florida State as a freshman back in 2014.

Overall, Kaaya’s day wasn’t terrible. He did have a few highlights in the game, including this touchdown pass over the middle.

The problem for Kaaya is he’s been surpassed by Trubisky and DeShone Kizer on the 2017 NFL Draft board and has fallen even further behind Watson. With inconsistent game tape this season, Kaaya needs to perform well at the Scouting Combine and pro day to assure himself a spot in the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft.
