Out of Pocket, Out of Mind: Brady Cook
Given to the SEC's top passing performer outside the pocket
Okay – the title of this superlative is a bit hyperbolic based on the returning candidates the SEC has at its disposal. But the overlooked and mellow Missouri QB presents the best resume when passing outside the pocket amongst his peers. Either functioning off the Spread-a-han scheme’s built-in bootlegs or extending other designs, he captured the top Adjusted Completion%* with a robust 88.1% clip. That along with his 42.4% Success Rate are the best respective figures by a returning SEC starter. And despite a double-digit Drop Rate harshing his numbers, Cook repped a Top 5 First Down+TD Rate and ANY/A. Plus, his 56.1% Accuracy% and 4.6% Interceptable% track to be Top 3 within the league ahead of this fall. He’s still overly a cog in a grand design, but Cook has value. After all, his QB keepers – mostly on QB Draw RPO – helped buoy the offense once the bread-and-butter Off-Tackle became toast.
*Adjusted completion percentage takes into account factors outside of the quarterback's control in terms of completing passes.
