Louisville standout QB Brian Brohm has taken a backseat to some of the other quarterbacks entering this year's draft in the media. However, things appear to be changing for the signal-caller who is steadily moving up some teams' draft boards.
The NFL scouts that I have talked to share a much different view than the so-called experts who suggest that someone other than Brohm is the top-rated passer.
The way I hear it from some scouts, Brohm is the bomb and no question the No. 1 quarterback in the draft.
There are at least three teams picking in the Top 10 and eight in the Top 20 who are taking a hard look and have reevaluated Brohm since his performance at the Combine last month.
Kiper not impressed
It's a bit ironic that Brohm would be concerned with raising his draft stock. When at the same time last year he was considered a bonafide Top 5 pick in the '07 draft if he would have chosen to come out early his junior year.
Now, a year later, NFL draft guru Mel Kiper Jr. doesn't deem Brohm worthy of being on his Top 25 prospects list. What's up with that?
One Minnesota Vikings scout sarcastically asked the question during a conversation at the Senior Bowl. How do you go from being a potential top 5 pick one year to a virtual unknown the following with the numbers that Brohm put up this season?
You don't, that's the media talking and those who are easily persuaded, buying into it. The scout added that the cream always rises to the top. He was referring to Brohm.
So why the drastic turn of events?
