Pink’s Analysis

Brush, who has a slender build, looks to have a live arm. He’s got good arm talent that shows pinpoint accuracy at times. The ball doesn’t flip off his hand like we have seen some of the top-tier quarterbacks, but when he releases it, it goes where he wants it to. That includes deep balls and intermediate throws. Brush’s ball also seems to have good touch on it.

Brush’s pocket presence stands out. There are multiple times when Brush stands in among pressure and delivers. Brush keeps the ball clean, impressively, throwing 61 touchdowns and 4 interceptions when combining his junior and senior seasons.

The knocks against Brush are his size, and potentially his arm strength, at this point. He’s on the smaller side. For now, it does not seem that he offers a lot as a rusher. He is a throw-first quarterback with good enough running ability to get him out of binds.
