Give Tyler Bray credit. He’s consistent. The former Tennessee quarterback lost none of his overconfidence bordering on arrogance wrapped in stupidity as he awaited last weekend’s NFL Draft.

Despite numerous questions about his maturity, judgment and focus as the draft approached, he was credited with the following quote during the NFL combine in February:

“[Having played in the SEC], I don’t feel it’s going to be a big jump to the NFL.”

This is the same SEC whose top three teams last season — Alabama, Georgia and Florida — intercepted Bray seven times. And good as those programs were, none of them, if given a chance, could beat the worst team in the NFL last autumn, the Kansas City Chiefs.

Perhaps that’s why one unnamed NFL scout reportedly told the Bleacher Report’s Michael Schottey that Bray’s whiteboard interview concerning Xs and Os was, “the worst he’d seen.”
