Pats working out Ian Book [edit Pats signing him]

[turkeyneck]

Extra practice arm in case Corral isn't going to be around for a while.

Reading the draft profiles on him, I can't say I understand how he was drafted so high. Short, lacks arm strength, lacks accuracy...

Guess I was wrong that they wouldn't sign him. Hope they did it by the book.

IOW the perfect Pats backup?

I was going to post "the ideal Mac Jones backup"...

Book rookie debut vs Saints highlights


Definitely not an NFL level arm but kinda mobile I guess. Deep dropbacks like Mac used to do.

Hope Corral is back sooner than later.

Book is about 2 tiers lower than JAG.

I'm thinking Edelman with this guy.

Ian Book is short, by NFL QB standards, at 6'0" but he's tough, smart, and an excellent athlete. Played lacrosse and football in high school. He is older (took a redshirt year at ND, and played while a graduate student on the Covid-19 added year of eligibility.)

He adds another layer of depth at QB, but I think he's a Belichick/O'Brien guy who could appear in several roles.

QB situation sure is odd this year.

Played lacrosse

And there you have it.

It's bizarre.

Are they turning the page on Corral?

I see what you did there...

Probably because he led Notre Dame to 2 CFP semifinals and won a ton in general despite his supporting cast (except maybe Claypool who only played in one of them).

Of all the guys out there that they could possibly sign as a quarterback to the practice squad, this is the guy that they sign? This is such a Bellicheck move.

Read the cliff notes on this…I wouldn’t check it out.

Probably just trying to get some insight into the Eagles offense…
