theguru Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 The Cincinnati Bengals hosted a workout for local prospects on Tuesday, and former Highlands star and Kentucky starting quarterback Patrick Towles was on the premises. Towles, who spent last season leading Boston College to a 7-6 record and victory over Maryland in the Quick Lane Bowl, didn't just show off his arm, either.

ColonelCrazy Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 He's the #25 QB in the draft? That's hard to believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColonelCrazy Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Hard to believe he is that high or hard to believe he is that low? I would've thought he'd be ranked a bit higher...but then again, I can't even name 15 college QB's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futurecoach Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 He's the #25 QB in the draft? That's hard to believe. Not really imo. As much as I would have loved to see him on a roster in the NFL. His numbers don't suggest he should be. He struggled very much with accuracy in college. He completed only 50 percent of his passes while at UK and had only a 51 completion rate this year at Boston College. That doesn't translate well to the NFL when passing windows are much smaller. He is the typical qb size teams want. However other than that, there is nothing that really helps him out in terms of being ranked better than other qbs. I hope he proves me wrong and he does make a roster somewhere even as a practice squad qb. However I do think he may have a better chance as a te.

NKY Bandit Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Wonder what number QB the guy from the Pats was before he was drafted. He wasn't a top guy but it seems to have turned out well for the fans in Boston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futurecoach Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Wonder what number QB the guy from the Pats was before he was drafted. He wasn't a top guy but it seems to have turned out well for the fans in Boston. Very true. However that guy the Pats drafted had a 20 and 5 record as a starter. And Completed 62% of his passes in college, not just 50%. To put things in perspective. That guy the Pats drafted in the 6th round had only 6 qbs taken before he was drafted. So I would say he was probably rated around the 7th best qb coming out and not near the 19th rated. I get your point, but not the best comparison lol.

Funny thing is, I hear the Pats are one of a handful of teams that are interested in Mr. Towles AS A QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though I have my doubts of him making it in the NFL, just based off his performance in college. I hope he completely proves me wrong and sticks around in the NFL for awhile even if it's just as a practice squad guy. He is a great role model and has always done things the right way, and would be amazing to see him be rewarded for all his hard work and make it in the nfl.
