Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders are the two biggest names of the incoming rookie class in the NFL. They both pat the ball before they throw.
GASP!
Are the Tennessee Titans going to regret their pick because of the habit? Probably not. Ward disproved all of the criticism surrounding Sanders while Will Levis picked his nose at minicamp earlier this week.
If you have no idea what I am talking about, let me explain. There were (and are) a lot of people who thought (and still think) the son of Deion Sanders is going to be a bust in the NFL. Some of them don’t like his attitude. Others question his arm strength.
However, the biggest point of emphasis during the pre-Draft process was Sanders’ habit of patting the ball before he cocks back to throw a pass. It was talked about at nauseam after his Pro Day. New York Jets safety Andre Cisco said the ball pat will allow NFL secondaries to tear him apart because they are “breaking onnat earlyyyy.”
Michael and Marcus Vick do not see the ball pat as an issue. Kyle Brandt was exhausted by the discourse.
