Jacoby BrissettQBARI

Defensive coaches rated Brissett higher than offensive coaches, producing the third-largest split in that direction behind Tagovailoa and Prescott. At age 33 with seven stops across six teams, he fits the journeyman veteran archetype. Executives and coaches characterize him as a classic Tier 4 option: strong in quick-dropback, rhythm passing games with accurate short throws and occasional deep shots, but lacking scrambling ability and creative playmaking. One defensive coach noted: 'He could help you win in a quick-dropback, rhythm passing game and make the short throws and take the occasional 7-cut shot or the occasional go-ball fade. But he is not going to scramble for you, not going to create. I do think he is smart.' An exec summarized: 'Great veteran presence, everything very positive, except, you know, when he has to play for long stints.'
