Sean Payton gives strong early review of rookie QB Garrett Grayson
The New Orleans Saints obviously were hoping to find their future when drafting quarterback Garrett Grayson. So far, Grayson has impressed his new head coach, according to Andrew Schuster of Who Dat Dish.
“It’s been impressive,” Sean Payton said about Grayson. “He’s a quick decision maker, he’s got good arm strength, his athleticism, he’s in shape, and you guys will have a chance to see him soon at practice. He’s been real effective.
“I said this to Pete (Carmichael) — we’ve got three quarterbacks in this camp, one under contract (Grayson) and then two tryout quarterbacks (Justin Worley, Taylor Graham). All three of them I would say have been one of the better combinations of quarterbacks in a rookie camp that we’ve had, so that’s encouraging. But he’s (Grayson) been sharp. He’s a quick study and he’s very accurate,” Payton said.
Drew Brees won't be losing his job, which is a good thing, but at least the project to groom Grayson for the future is off to a good start.
