I don't think the accuracy he displays here says that much about his potential as an NFL quarterback. He must have a killer work ethic if he has come this far from HS though, so I wouldn't count him out.
IIRC, Reiss recounted a drill in which Brady missed once, hit the side 3 times and put one in, then Hoyer missed the can twice, hit the side once and put two in. Then Wilfork came along and dropped it into the can on his first try. Which thereby ended practice since nobody, including BB, could stop laughing.
Multiple takes on some, took one afternoon. Longest take was 20 for the three in a row attempts at the goalpost. several were one shot takes. The hardest shot of all at the end where he threw it in from across the arena took two takes, with the first hitting the rim. The skeet shot was one take. Second longest take was trying to hit the kick in mid-air.
How much zip do you want on a throw? Bill Walsh, who might have known a thing or two about football and QBs said that one of Joe Montana's best assets was a soft and catchable ball.
Why is everyone hatin on this kid so much? I live in CT, and I'm a huge Uconn fan. Seriously though, NO football player in the WORLD could get everyone of those shots on the first try. It was something cool to do and so he did it. So what if it took him 20 tries, nobody on this forum could do any of that stuff....

The writer got things screwed up. I saw the interview, and he was referring to the three in a row hitting the crossbar, not the shot at the end. He mentioned the shot at the end, and I'm sure that's why the writer got things screwed up. Someone on the UConn board--whose name appears in the credits--came on and gave the report I mentioned above.

I think it's VERY cool what this guy did. Last year when I heard about Hoyer and Brady and the trash barrel competition, I went out in my backyard with a barrel. In true Uncle Rico fashion I tried getting it in rom different distances. I sank it once from 20 yards. Hit it a couple of times from about 30. That's it, in a half hour of trying. Try it some time.
These are amazing "shots" this kid is making. I swear the ones seated acrss four courts impress me most.
What's so good about this? I mean it is pretty cool but it probably took a bunch of throws before he made some of these, and of course they aren't going to show the misses. Give any college QB a video camera and a free afternoon and I'm sure they could come up with something similar. Most of the throws weren't even at moving targets either.

There's so many videos with kids doing these insane basketball trick shots or pool shots. They are obviously not very talented individuals but after many attempts can make tough shots and put a video together. I'm not taking anything away from the dude, I'm sure he's better than most at this. I just don't find it that impressive.

I think the #1 goal of the trash can drill is to consistently get the ball as close to the can as possible. Getting it into the trash can is great for bragging rights. Getting it consistently very close is good Quarterbacking.
