Speaking at the NFL combine on Tuesday, Denver Broncos coach Nathaniel Hackett said he’s looking for three main traits in a quarterback: toughness (mentally and physically), intelligence and accuracy.
“Those are kind of the three top ones, and then if you’re lucky, you get an athletic guy, too,” Hackett said. “Those are the four things that we look for in a quarterback with a lot of other things that kind of go into it.”
This year’s quarterback class is underwhelming, according to draft pundits. Broncos general manager George Paton wasn’t that harsh, calling it an “interesting” class.
