[@colbymiller3038]

Marucii: are you the best quarterback in the draft? Kizer: yes sir (Throws 22 picks the following season)

[@drizzydez8743]

Lol

[@NXTLVL2.0]

@Carlos Medina his o line was good that year

[@sportsfan-cm2vi]

@Carlos Medina idiot

[@NeptuneGuy78]

Should have sat on the bench or stayed a year or two more at Notre Dame.

[@JosephEMercado]

Coach asks him why he thinks he's the best QB in the draft and he proceeds to give this in-depth and thoughtful answer to which Mooch responds "I like your confidence" lol give the man some credit for actually giving a real answer.

[@dogbiskits]

Sounds very intelligent

[@ykd818]

dogbiskits Niners should draft him if we go QB

[@Finesse5x]

dogbiskits naw I like mitch trubisky better

[@chickenwityamz]

dogbiskits aka he doesn't sound like an avg black dude

[@ykd818]

dogbiskits Say man why did you go off on dude like that? He was agreeing with you. And hes right Deshone doesn't sound like your average brotha

[@dogbiskits]

The Black Knight I wasnt replying to chickenwityams , some other dude replied with some BS and I wrote that for him

[@alanweak]

He gives off the right kind of confidence. Not cocky, just aware of his intellect and decision-making abilities. He might actually be the best QB in this draft.

[@Alex-nq9mw]

these interviews are great

[@larry8030]

Alex Kerr cant wait to see Deshaun watsons

[@justdavon2656]

Mr Speed I'm waiting for watson too

[@jeremywade6986]

I like that everyone in the comment thread fancies themselves as NFL scouts. There is a good reason why you aren't.

[@jeffhensley9316]

Will be the best QB probably going #2. Didn't have the best career in ND but he's smart nice arm and size. Hell Brady was once benched at Michigan for Henson. If he goes to San Francisco he'll be the best QB in the draft hands down.

[@Yaahboi52]

Jeff Hensley I think somewhere at 3 or 4. I have Myles Garret going #1 and #2 Mike Trubisky

[@jeffhensley9316]

Yaahboi52 Really even after the way Lynch talked about Kizer? I think Trubisky has a better chance of going 1 then 2.

[@Yaahboi52]

Jeff Hensley you could make a case for that but Garret still showed why he should be #1 at the combine. 4.64 40 41 vert which is crazy for a man that's 6'5 272 and I believe an 11'1 broad jump

[@jeffhensley9316]

Yaahboi52 I'm not saying he should be #1 by far it's Garrett hands down. But if the Browns would take a QB it's be Trubisky.

[@ykd818]

Jeff Hensley I hope he goes to SF

[@TheDodoheaddumby]

I like how Steve Mariucci, corrected him instantly when he said Jerry Rice was one of the greatest of all time. 3:10

[@Exc3lcior]

love these videos

[@LindleyVI]

His combine wasn't great, he was thoroughly inconsistent. But he showed glimpses of great play, especially his deep ball. I still believe that with his intelligence and potential (he has the highest ceiling in my opinion) he could be a solid player. He isn't ready to play right away, give him time to work with a good quarterbacks coach and he can be a good prospect.

[@StevenC32]

Very bright kid.

[@CodeinCaptain]

What happened to Gruden's QB camp?

[@SalvadorHVAC]

CodeinCaptain that's ESPN, this is NFL Network

[@baconlord_FGC]

that happens in April

[@claytonm6056]

I was absolutely dreading the news that the 49ers had strong interest in this guy, but he's very mature and is a natural leader. He's gonna be a great player one day with his work ethic

[@coreywilson3508]

oof

[@radiance7916]

I like this guy.

[@heidiganz902]

I hope he is a big successes

[@muffinman885]

i love how he talks as fast as possible to overcomplicate everything. Coach seems annoying af

[@zzz-jj6zh]

Bobby.B That's how fast professional coaches call plays.

[@TonyGarciaxProdigy1994]

thats how coaches do it

[@Rap-Diablo]

Bobby.B you must've never played football before

[@muffinman885]

You a Simp I've been playing for 5 years, as a receiver at least, our coach explains the play to everyone on offence, sees if there are any questions, then we run the play. The only time the play is being said as fast as in the video, is when it is being called in game. Theres no need for it when introducing a new play

[@DaggerMan11]

That's intentional to see how quickly the guys can process information. The defense will be moving much faster than he's talking here.

[@raj8294]

Kizer is a smart kid, but not polished enough to take him at 2

[@StAtiKzHD]

Do you go to Notre Dame? Probably not but just to let you know its a very difficult school to get into and to stay in.

[@user-hq7ku5ei3x]

It’s so funny hearing this after the “perfect” season

[@allamokrane2918]

Ols school play right there

[@shortsbyj3763]

“Are you the best qb in this draft?” “I am” goes 0-16 as a starter

[@furdiebant]

90s play.

[@Samuel2oh9]

I like this guy. hope my 49ers draft him in the 2nd round. He's a very intelligent young man. He may not be 100% developed, but the potential is there. Kizer under Kyle Shanahan, I think he can be very successful

[@leventozturk9015]

thıs kıd has leaderhıp skılls and great talent! hope he comes to my 49ers...

[@christianreimer4518]

I love this guy! I really hope the 49ers take him 2nd. Im tired of getting defensive players in the first round that have little impact.

[@VortexHater]

christian Reimer you should take Mitch trubisky instead or mahomes

[@DAMamaSexual]

christian Reimer Buckner did well for the situation we are in

[@idchipoodle3361]

My fav quarterback in the draft

[@nextgenwellness]

Whoever drafts him please don't screw him over. I love seeing Notre dame players do well in the NFL! #GOIRISH☘️

[@tggallsmoke4192]

Peyton Manning #ForeverAColt #ColtsNation don't worry he's in good hands with coach shanahan

[@nextgenwellness]

Frank Ocean #GiveMeMYGrammy #RONDONUMBA9 I would love to see him there. You guys are getting young, rest coach, great organization and a ton of cap. I wouldn't be mad at all if he went to the Bay Area

[@JosephEMercado]

Deshone Kizer is the real deal man. Watch out for him come September.

[@pxzl]

How’d that go🤣🤣🤣

[@RMCProductionstudios]

man i love DeShone

[@pxzl]

How bout now😂😂😂

[@DAMamaSexual]

The best to ever do it

[@jaccpot]

Remindsme of Dak but throws the deep ball better

[@Astral0G1]

Angel Hui what the hell...

[@jaccpot]

Angel Hui big ' strong & got his job from injuries

[@dave132f]

L Dak was much better coming out of college

[@mmdaniels33]

Ace Austoom Dak prescott was meh coming out and he is a meh nfl qb. Biggest mistake the Cowboys ever made was benching Tony, because they would probably be defending super bowl Champs this year. Can't wait to see Prescott play when that o line isn't giving him 5 minutes to throw the ball.

[@jayhub1766]

I can see him pairing very well with Jordan Howard on the bears

[@markgaedtke2184]

It will be interesting to see how he does with a change of scenery. . .

[@theshamedarcher551]

We all know how it went from there, had a perfect season with the browns not getting a single W, then trades to the packers and fails there, then over to raider land and then gets cut.... it's sad really. Now a cfl team had him shortlisted. Hope he becomes successful, maybe makes an nfl return and wins an ring or 2.

[@dz6472]

Best QB in this draft..shouldn't be a question

[@jairogers5876]

quick study, serioys about the game.. id love him to sit and learn behind Ben Roethlisberger for a couple years.

[@markquelsmith9326]

knows plays real good

[@rawkem742]

This play is way more complicated compared to the play trubisky had to do

[@fartwaffles3038]

Love how Mooch corrected Kizer when he called Rice, "one of the best of all-time."

[@DJrocker8000]

just waiting for josh dobbs because he is very smart

[@sloppsthekid]

Love him as a Cardinal.

[@enoching7]

not gonna get past Bears, Browns, or 49ers. Sorry man

[@michaelbanks7803]

I think Kizer is the most talented QB in the Draft. He is best suited to sit back and learn for a little while before playing. He would be great for the Giants, or some of the the teams that don't need him to play right away. DeShaun Watson, Kizer, and Kiya are my favorites

[@leodalyon8854]

@1:07 Cleveland Browns confirmed!!!!!!! Run DeShone runnnnn

[@jaccpot]

Seen Desean spelled MANY different ways but thats by far the weirdest '

[@kensparks1349]

I seen Kizer at a central game he came to couple months ago got a picture with him got a hat signed and my dad's friend is friends with Kizer and got to meet Kizer and play catch

[@itsgoing7423]

Why is this in my news feed lol

[@brandonjohnson3558]

Are you the best qb is the draft? Yes I am. Leads the league in ints and has been benched multiple times

[@marcoalcala3412]

The next jamarcus Russell

[@jadenshort7032]

what about deshaun Watson??

[@206guy5]

Steve Mariucci aka the coach that scouted Tom Brady but passed on him.

[@xlmvp86]

So did 32 other teams. Including the pats 5x

[@amirpalamar7133]

206 guy Brady didn't have much to show off the field, and scouts pay too much attention to things like the combine. A lot of teams pass in great players, it happens

[@gerrodrichardson7846]

Brown right lol guess coach figured where he was going not a big surprise

[@BFHdovid]

This due has a brain and a half! :D

[@marcuscooper8595]

Hate to say it, he's gonna be good. Can he make the throw and does he have the accuracy.

[@devon6am]

Marcus Cooper him and Watson have the best arms in the draft

[@GOTIFILMS]

Devon 6am watson isn't that accurate, the most accurate are mitch, kizer, and mahomes

[@deaddriftinmt531]

Where is Watson's video with Mooch?

[@hulktimusprime4409]

Thumbnail looked like Wanda Sykes

[@theydidntsaythisai]

Are u the best qb in the draft Deshon Kizer- YeS SIr

[@MrJjhighhat]

Hate how I can't see the whiteboard

[@marcoalcala3412]

The next Vince young

[@leandrest.hilaire3701]

nice

[@luke40531]

Hey that’s a cool name

[@captainspartan04]

he should be an Arizona cardinal

[@DK-BayBay]

Would be better if coach didn't give the qb prospects the same play year after year. Usually a selection of 3 plays he has. He gave this same play to Trubs. These qbs prepped before even having this sit down.

[@Diegosportstalk]

0-16 nuff said

[@aries3968]

He was thrown into a bad situation to be fair

[@supahman20]

in my opinion from what i can see now the only franchise qb in the draft is deshaun watson

[@amirpalamar7133]

Wes Hardin Well looks like you were right 😂😂

[@burner2235]

You just gotta ignore mariucci and repeat the play in your head

[@miguelcanas9148]

Does he know mahomes is also in the draft?

[@bricethompson1922]

Nobody knew he was going to be you know that good

[@Bkesal14]

I don't get how this tests anything, literally all you have to do is remember what Coach says. I've never played football in my life but guess what, I happen to be able to remember something that was drawn on a board 30 secs before. Am I NFL ready?

[@paulbaker4811]

Browns are now 0-14 with Kizer. Guess Mooch was wrong.

[@shloakdutta4590]

Looks like Bruno Mars

[@j.r3507]

Why deshone look like deshawn Watson 😂😂😂🧐🧐😂

[@XX-yc4pz]

CJ Prosise, Will Fuller, DeShone Kizer, some defensive people, linemen, stop taking our players 😢

[@noahbrown6400]

Im not sure that ha beats Micht from NC State. I would put hin with Watson

[@scottsge]

Trubisky still the best QB in draft

[@larry8030]

alphaelephant i mean torching Alabama twice and nearly getting two national championships doesnt mean anything..

[@mrfront9646]

Mr Speed Football is a team sport, Clemson had a much better team than UNC or Notre Dame, the QB doesnt reflect the entire teams performance.

[@jaw_knee]

didn't tebow win a lot?

[@haterzzbehatinn]

Mr Front the best qbs find a way to make their team win. The make everyone around them better

[@javiergodsarmy7058]

alphaelephant No he's not. He SUCKS. I live in NC and am connected, no one knows why he's a 1st round pick except for the fact that the real top two QBs in this draft were black guys named Deshaun/shone and we gotta "Make America Great Again" wink wink.

[@captainkizer]

To think I was the only one with my last name.

[@sportslab8718]

1 Trubisky 2 Watson 3 Kizer 4 Mahomes 5 Peterman

[@sportslab8718]

5 Webb sorry

[@brandoncoyt]

Y'all sleepin on Brad Kaaya

[@joewash5942]

1. kizer 2. trubisky 3. Watson 4. kaaya 5. Webb

[@jayhub1766]

Sports Lab 1.Watson 2.Trubisky 3.Kizer 4.Mahomes 5.Kayaa

[@bigbeans6776]

+joe wash Really? What do you say about Kizer now?

[@j0hnnykn0xv1lle]

I'm a lifelong Irish fan but these new breed of dual threat QBs aren't translating in the NFL - the NFL is still a pro style QB game - Brady, Ben, Rodgers, -- Can you work from the pocket FIRST. I'm still fascinated by how easy Brady makes it look. But if he didn't have that great line he'd be nothing.

[@tylerb.3580]

Next Dak Prescott?

[@brockosweileryouaintstoppi1784]

Tyler B. "Next Dak Prescott" Smh Dak isn't anything yet, he's only played one year

[@terry1509]

Brock Osweiler...Yeah still waiting on him to be something too.

[@ry-an2]

Brock Osweiler #Superbowl51 #GOAT #ItsAllBrock he's saying that as in he's going to step in and make an impact as he's got a deep understanding for the game much like Prescott

[@ry-an2]

Brock Osweiler #Superbowl51 #GOAT #ItsAllBrock Not as if Prescott is the best , but in that perspective

[@tombradyshadycheatsquadspy5590]

Tyler B. Unless they're going to a team with the same o line than no he's not the next bust Prescott

[@Huntre]

Giants please get this guy at 23

[@powerle3380]

Huntersauros wait till next year for a qb. Underwhelming qb class this yesr

[@aldmeriscum2215]

Huntersauros he'll be gone by then

[@latricepeters9397]

Power LE So tank ?

[@kevinarzola4781]

Lmao this is such bs and Mariucci knows it. Going to miss Gruden. That dude doesn't bs.

[@Aurora-FX]

0-16... best quarterback?

[@youngt22]

49ers!

[@sbz88]

Wasn't really a convincing answer when he was asked why he thinks he's the best.

[@redbanner17]

Apparently Kevin Hogan has a better football iq....

[@GazzefreGaming]

Quarterback language

[@atitgor2269]

Who’s here after 5 yeRs

[@bc8781]

This is so sad had great football IQ but then threw 22 picks

[@CRuShMoDzGaming]

Future Cardinal Great

[@thebatt962]

Best QB in the draft went 0-16

[@concord2727]

Great IQ but bad decisions on the field. Hope he can develop behind A Rod. Browns not the best place for a rookie, unless you’re a super rookie.

[@Johnsor21]

This guy and trubisky have bust all written over them

[@bricethompson1922]

Wow

[@julrodriguez50]

Not Jon gruden

[@samromero912]

2

[@Tshirt99]

Go Irish

[@thatswhatshesaid69]

0-15

[@Carfalog]

I will be an upset niners fan if he's drafted 2nd overall. Nothing against him personally, he just lacks consistent accuracy.

[@am_wolf0471]

1st

[@onionhombre]

I don’t think he’s the number one QB

[@iduncan6455]

2nd

[@iduncan6455]

make that 3rd

[@jerimiahstephens8580]

ALL YOU 49ER FANS WE WILL TRADE KIAZER FOR JIMMY,!!

[@aleffkb8966]

Way way better than Trubisky

[@travisscott8438]

Haha got me laughing kizer is 0-16 QB trubisky is 15-11 starter is kizer way better than trubisky now

[@marcoalcala3412]

No thanks Niners don't need another Kaepernick
