2024 Guide: What Ourlads’ NFL Scouting Services said about MICHAEL PRATT:
Tulane | HT: 6024 | WT: 217 | 40 time: 4.65 | Arm: 3034 | Hand: 0914 | Wing: 7700
Four-year starter. All-AAC three straight years including first-team honors in 2023 along with winning the conference Offensive Player of the Year Award. Pratt turned the Tulane program around during his time under center. They had not reached double-digit wins since 1998 and they went 2-10 during Pratt’s first full season as the starter. He ended his career with two straight double digit-win seasons and a Cotton Bowl win over USC. His consistent ascent as a quarterback puts proof to the amount of work he puts in off the field. He is a plus-athlete and hard-nosed competitor who has the ability to lead through example. Athletic, twitchy footwork with an explosive arm. Has shoulder flexibility allowing excellent upper body rotation. Classic throwing motion and mechanics that are consistent. Gets the ball out in a hurry and maintains accuracy to all levels when he is balanced. Works the middle of the field well. Comfortable playing from the pocket. Confident passer, that can fit balls in a tight window. Can change up his velocity and planes. Maintains composure against the blitz and shows a good feel for pressure. Has the right kind of internal clock blending urgency and patience. Dangerous as a runner. Will pick up chunk gains and can run through cheap contact. Strong and tough when rushers get their hands on him. Does not always feel the whole defense. Will get locked onto his target, inviting backside defenders to pounce on his passes. Can be an unnecessary risk taker that got away with some bad throws. Will rush his mechanics at times and there are questions about consistency in hip rotation and general feel for coverages. But the physical ability is there to be a true dual threat at the next level.
2023 Stats: 185/283, 2406 yds, 65.4%, 22 TD, 5 INT, 286 yds rushing, 5 TD, 158.9 QB rating. Draft projection: 3rd/4th round
