Overview

Willy is a very accomplished passer who was a third-team All-State selection in New Jersey while setting school records for career passing yardage (5,387) and touchdowns (51). As a senior, Drew completed 62% of his passes for 2,459 yards and 20 touchdowns. He is a graduate of Randolph H.S. in Randolph, NJ where he led to a 15-6 record and the Iron Hills Conference title over his final two seasons. Drew also earned first-team All-County and All-Area honors as a senior and was also a first-team All-Area guard on the basketball team.

At Buffalo, started the final 8 games of his true freshman season and completed 61% of his passes for 1481 yards, 6/12. In '06, he played in and started 8 games again before sustaining a season-ending thumb injury. That year he went 138 of 231 for 1391 yards and threw 6 TDs and 6 picks. In 2007, he started all 12 games and was 258 of 377 (68.4%!) for 2572 yards and 15 TDs against just 6 TDs.

Was invited to the Combine and did not look out of place there, but did not "WOW" anyone either....

Strengths

Under the radar type who finally lit up the NFL radar screens (and the general fandom) with a stunning walk-off TD pass with no time on the clock to beat Temple (9-13-08). Very good size and size potential. Shows a lot of football intelligence. Good, but not great arm strength. Leadership attributes are off the charts. Gets out on the edge when he must, and can throw pretty well on the run. Mechanically sound. Has improved any year and works hard to improve. Has matured into a very good decision maker.

Weaknesses

Still a bit herky jerky in his delivery. Does not always make good reads. Can get locked in on a play he wants to make, when others might be better. Lanky and will need to add muscle to have any chance of surviving the pounding in the NFL. Level of competition, playing in the bottom half of the MAC will concern some, but the program has matured along with him.

Projection

7th round measurables, but has some magic that might make a team reach. And that name...that name is worth a couple rounds all by itself!

Looks like a good career backup similar to Ryan Fitzpatrick but not as mobile. Smart player.

Drew Willy is 6'4" with a good, live, arm. He is a smart QB who does not make a lot of mistakes. His big drawback is a lack of mobility. He needs to go to a team that has a good offensive line or he can get pummelled
