Three TXHSFB Comparisons to Current NFL Stars

QB Grant Gunnell - Matt Ryan (Atlanta Falcons)

When comparing high school players to NFL stars there will never be an exact match, but Gunnell reminds me physically of Matt Ryan when he was at Boston College. Like Matt Ryan, he has a good feel in the pocket and knows how to avoid the rush and find a wide out who can make a big play for him. As a passer, the Class of 2019 Arizona commit does a lot of things well that has kept Sam Bradford in an NFL jersey. He can pick defenses apart with his short game, but can dial it up when he needs to. The 6-foot-6, 222-pounder can pick up yards with his feet and is very mobile in the pocket. Gunnell, who preps at St. Pius X, is closing in on some national passing records.
