Something about his release reminds me of Bradford.
But, more over-the-top. The way, though, he whips it from his chest reminds me of Bradford.

So, I'm the lame kid that has never seen a single non-youtube Devlin snap. His release and his mobility - specifically the way he moves to make throws - are exciting. Can't help but think of many of the things Henne is not when watching him move and throw.
Bad news people. According to my online verizon fios account. ESPN2 will be showing Richmond vs Appalachian State this Friday at 8 pm.
I favor Flacco because of his size and he outproduced Devlin during his time at Delaware
Is Pat Devlin a First Round Prospect?
Pat Devlin is probably a better pure passer than Joe Flacco, based on their respective high school careers, recruiting hype, and first year statistics at Delaware. The biggest difference in between their two seasons is probably the number of passes attempted. It’s not like Devlin wasn’t the unquestioned QB of the Blue Hens last year; only 7 attempted passes last year by the team were not thrown by him. Still, he threw about 70 fewer passes than Flacco did, and was sacked 26 times, more sacks in 2009 than Flacco had in his Blue Hen career.
The other factor here is that by my accounts, Flacco had the better pieces. RB Omar Cuff, in four years at Delaware — the last two with Flacco — never failed to average at least 4.4 yards per carry, and truth be told, his 5.0 YPC senior season led the Blue Hens offense. Flacco really just managed it and converted third downs. Cuff scored 39 (!) offensive touchdowns that year. Devlin inherits no such running game. The offensive line should be improved this year, but last year, UDel runners combined to average fewer than 3.5 yards per carry (team total of 3.1 includes Devlin sacks), and just 16 TDs, which matched Devlin’s personal total. Things will be better this year, to an extent, but what won’t change is that unlike Flacco’s senior season, what is accomplished by the Hens will be accomplished by Devlin.
Devlin appears poised to blow away all of Flacco’s records from 2007, but the Hens are not as good of a team as they were that year. They are a good bet to get to the postseason on the strength of a 4500 yard passing season from Devlin in which he obliterates the school passing TD record, but they aren’t the best team in the CAA by any stretch, and are looking at a 7-4 or 8-3 season. They have a brutal road schedule (though a very favorable home slate), having to face FCS powers Richmond, James Madison, William & Mary, and UMass all away from home.

I think his arm strength is on the margin between adequate and good.
