Positives
Was extraordinarily productive...Good height with the frame to get bigger...Very accurate...Arm strength is adequate...Has a quick release...Displays terrific touch and timing...A decent athlete who moves well in the pocket...Smart...Knows how to read a defense and go through his progressions...Super confident and poised under pressure...Has shown maturity in owning up to his past mistakes...A leader.
Negatives
Played in a run-and-shoot system that inflated his stats...Worked mostly out of the shotgun and wasn't asked to make many NFL reads or throws...Needs to add weight and bulk up...Throwing motion is very unorthodox and his sidearm delivery leads to passes getting knocked down...Has some character concerns... Is not a finished product and will need some technique work...Somewhat of a gunslinger who will play recklessly and take unnecessary risks...Bust potential is significant.
Notes:
Backed up Matt Leinart at Mater Dei High School...Later spent a year at Worcester Academy prep school where he played with former New Hampshire wideout David Ball...Began his college career at Colorado as a walk-on where he redshirted as a freshman..Convicted of first-degree criminal trespass and second-degree burglary in 2004 after he allegedly entered a female students dorm room and fondled her, which led to his almost immediate dismissal from the football team...Wound up at Saddleback Community College and after a standout season there he was offered an opportunity to walk-on at Hawaii...Holds numerous NCAA records including the career mark for passing touchdowns...Much, much better pro prospect than Timmy Chang was but that 'System QB' label still lingers and he will have to overcome the failures of other high-profile run-and-shoot guys such as Andre Ware & David Klinger...If he lands with a top-notch quarterbacks coach and is handled properly Brennan has the ability to start at the next level...At this point there are still more questions than answers with this guy, which makes him an awfully risky prospect.
