JetNation Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 http://www.youtube.com/embed/4OVCY4c-xvI?version=3&rel=1&fs=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&wmode=transparent' frameborder='0' allowfullscreen='true'> Name: Bryce Petty Position: QB HT: 6′ 3″ WT: 230 College: Baylor Acquired: 2015 Draft/4th Round (103rd overall) Twitter: @b_petty14 Bryce Petty was born in Thomaston, Georgia but later moved to Texas and attended Midlothian High School. Petty quarterbacked his team in high school while also participating in track and field. According to Rivals.com, Petty ranked 25th among quarterback prospects coming out of high school. Petty began his college career at Baylor and sat out his first year as a true freshman. Petty would go on to be a backup for the next two years, behind Robert Griffin III and Nick Florence. In 2013 Petty took over as the starter for the Baylor Bears. In his two seasons as the starter for Baylor, Petty put up impressive numbers amassing 8,055 yards, 61 touchdowns, and only 10 interceptions with a 62.5 completion percentage; he was also a threat on the ground totaling 310 rushing yards, and 20 touchdowns. In the 2015 draft the Jets traded up one spot in the fourth round from 104th to 103rd overall to select Petty. Todd Bowles and Chan Gailey have made it clear that Geno Smith will be the Jets starting quarterback this season, meaning Petty will be relegated to bench duty. While Petty has the skill set to be a starting quarterback in the NFL, he will likely benefit from a season on the sidelines. If Smith falters this season and loses the job to Ryan Fitzpatrick, Petty could have a real chance of taking the reigns for the 2016 season.

win4ever Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 go 48 seconds and check out his throwing grip- i've never seen that I think it's an anomaly of quick throw offense, where he's throwing a quick screen or pass and doesn't have the time to actually reset the ball in his hands.

It's a good thought but I cross referenced from a pic at OTA's and believe it was the same. No laces - kinda cool and different. I remember Troy Aikman was unusual and had the laces on his palm almost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Troy Aikman was unusual and had the laces on his palm almost. Yeah, he has a fair amount of it in pics, but a lot of normal hand placement as well, which is interesting.

#27TheDominator Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Looks like he doesn't care much about the laces. Interesting that you guys noticed that, but not the last picture with all the QBs. Fitzpatrick's body looks like it belongs in a Tuesday night women's bowling league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
