According to NFL Draft analyst Chad Reuter, Kentucky quarterback Devin Leary was one of the biggest standouts at Tuesday’s East-West Shrine Bowl practice.
“Leary might not get picked until the middle of Day 3 because of his recent tape, but he offers tools with which an NFL quarterback coach can work,” Reuter said of Leary.

1) Devin Leary, QB, Kentucky (6-foot-1, 215 pounds)
The issues Leary encountered this past season at Kentucky — getting the ball out late and throwing into coverage — showed up at times during Shrine practices. But he also impressed with his footwork in drills, the velocity and tight spiral of his ball and his ability to drop throws into the bucket down the sideline or in the corner of the end zone — like he did Tuesday to Michigan WR Cornelius Johnson. He also perfectly anticipated a throw over one defender and between two others to 5-foot-8 Oregon State WR Anthony Gould for a long gain (the second time this week he made that throw). Leary might not get picked until the middle of Day 3 because of his recent tape, but he offers tools with which an NFL quarterback coach can work.

There are reports that Leary had the highest spin rate of any Shrine Bowl quarterback of the last three years. One of his throws was measured at just under 80 miles per hour.
