Kizer: I combine Brady's mind, Newton's body

Ex-Notre Dame QB DeShone Kizer: 'No one else can do what I do'

Calling himself a mix of Tom Brady's mind and Cam Newton's body, former Notre Dame quarterback DeShone Kizer says he has the ability to be "the greatest quarterback to ever play."

"No one else can do what I can do," Kizer told USA Today Sports in an interview that was published Thursday. "And I've truly figured out in this [draft] process, if I can maximize all my potential in every aspect of the game -- this is bold -- I do have the ability to be the greatest quarterback to ever play.

"Imagine taking Brady's intellect and Brady's preparation and putting it on a guy with Cam Newton's body. Why can't I be the greatest? The only thing stopping me from is me. That's what's driving me now."

Kizer tweeted later Thursday that reaction to his remarks have been taken "way out of context."

He has some really nice traits from both- but conflating that with a complete picture is LOL worthy. He's better than people think, IMO

I'll give the kid this, at least he has confidence in himself. We'll see if he can back it up on the field.

True, you can't say he doesn't have confidence

Just about ever D1 College QB has that mindset though.

As they should or they wouldn't get a scholarship.

Damnit. I was hoping this was gonna be about Kizer buying a million dollar mansion and a few 250,000 dollar cars so I could make a joke about Notre Dame paying players.

A guy who needed more time in college to hone his skills in a league that demands immediate results or it's on to the next prospect / pick = bust.

Yep. I went to Illinois State and knew a few QBs there and they all had that mindset. One of them was terrible and a bench warmer and he was looking to figure out a way to turn his current predicament into transferring to a D1 school and then getting drafted. He was a grade A retard.

Sounds like he needs to update his resume. Mind of Brady, Body of Newton, Confidence of Ali.

And I thought Notre Dame produced smart folks - Who knew?

How idiotic - what possible upside can come from this for him? Does he really think that some NFL team moves him up their draft board because of confidence. Hell - wasn't he benched for the Stanford game due to performance?

Haha...the classic fallback...."taken out of context"

Even his own coach doesn't think he is ready

Very true, however less than 5% make it in the league

I give him credit for trying but he needed to be realistic about his skills.

Good for him. Be bold as hell, there's nothing to lose. Showing this level of confidence is only going to help.

ericd7633 · Apr 21, 2017

While what he said is a stretch, he's certainly the most physically gifted QB in this draft. And probably the most since Cam Newton. As far as his "mind" is concerned, he did a lot of dumb shit at ND so he has a ways to go there.
