are some kind of impressive
Sometimes when a draft pick hasn’t played much his first two seasons, it’s a good thing to back and be reminded of the player’s college accomplishments.
Today I was looking for Clayton Tune’s NFL player comps coming into the 2023 NFL Draft.
Two that I found were:
Then, I clicked on Clayton’s college PFF evals, and while I could not find a player comp, I was pleasantly reminded of how well Clayton Tune graded over his last 3 years at the University of Houston.
Blue chip passing grades in every category.
A model of consistency, game in and game out. Thise are excellent grades.

After Clayton Tune was drafted by the Cardinals in Round 5 at pick #139, he said in an interview with Arizona Republic’s Bob McManaman, “I think I’m the best quarterback in this class and God’s got a plan for me,” Tune said. “If you look at my body of work, the effect that I have on my team that I play on, I elevate everyone around me. I’m a natural leader, people follow me and see the work that I’m putting in and the mindset that I have, and they want to follow suit. I have that no-flinch mentality when things get going tough. Those are some of the intangible things and then being able to make every throw on the field, being able to make plays off schedule and being more mobile than people realize.”
Based on PFF draft evaluations and statistical date Clayton Tune has a good, legitimate point. What he needs is a fair chance to play.
