Colt Brennan was the fan favorite last summer. He’s trying to become the coach’s favorite this summer. That might take another year or two, but Brennan certainly looks a little better in some subtle areas.
He still has his classic sidearm delivery, which resulted in his slinging a few completions over the middle this morning. Every time he does, the buzz from the crowd increases. They like this kid. Teammates like him, too; — one said last year that when he possesses a certain swagger that others like. Some in the front office told scouting buddies that there’s just ”something about him.”
Anyway, what was a little different today is the way Brennan stayed in the pocket and tried to go through his progressions. One knock on him by the coaches last year was that he abandoned the pocket too quickly. He seems to be making an effort thus far in camp at stepping up in the pocket, and not just trying to get outside. It’s resulted in a few completions.
Brennan still needs to show improvement, or at least consistency, on the deep ball. And he’s still firmly the No. 3 quarterback. But he’s making strides.
