The Navy QB, can he pass well?

I haven’t seen Navy play this year but I hear they’re good. What I saw of the game this afternoon appeared to me that Navy was running a kind of spread/zone read offense that normally does have more passing. But not today for Navy, they won running the ball and with defense against Army’s option offense.

It would be cool to see a guy from a service academy make the NFL. I’d bet on the Navy deferring or delaying his service commitment, or putting him in the reserves.

I know NOTHING when it comes to the nfl drafting ARMY and NAVY guys.

Have they made exceptions to let them play in the pros in the past?

I hate to sound INCREDIBLY unpatriotic but are ARMY and NAVY colleges? A number of colleges?

Yeah it’s embarrassing but better to know at 51 than never know

He is a decent passer, and although Navy used more passing plays to good advantage this season, they still are primarily a triple-option team.

The shotgun formation was new this year, an addition I assume to accomodate the decision to add more passing to the offense.

The long snapper for the New England Patriots, Joe Cardona, graduated from the Naval Academy in 2015. He serves his commitment in the Reserves.
