The 2027 NFL Draft is the home for top-end talent all across the board. This quarterback class is being heralded as one of the best in years, headlined by as many as six first-round picks. We could see a massive number of quarterbacks drafted, and some that might surprise folks. One prospect in this conversation is Georgia’s Gunner Stockton.
What does his summer scouting report look like? Let’s talk about it.
- Height: 6’1″
- Weight: 215 lbs
- Recruiting rank: Four-star recruit, no. 7 QB nationally in 2022
- Hometown: Tiger, Georgia
- Games watched: Tennessee, Alabama (x2), Ole Miss, Texas
Strengths:
- Excels in the short game. Can hit every throw under 10 yards
- Plus upside as a playmaker
- Near-flawless game against Ole Miss, 26/31, 289 yards and four touchdowns
Weaknesses:
- Smaller quarterback prospect
- Below-average arm talent
- Can not push the ball down the field
- Tends to hold the ball too long in high-pressure moments
- One year of experience on a loaded roster, Gunner Stockton is likely to get drafted late on Day Three and could likely find himself on a practice squad. As things stand here, he gets an undrafted grade from me and could be talked into extending a camp invite. The lack of pure arm talent and mechanics that need cleaning up doesn’t scream upside.
