BRIAN BROHM, QB, LOUISVILLE
6-foot-3, 228 pounds, 4.85 seconds in 40-yard dash
At a glance: Drafted 56th overall, with the pick the Packers acquired from the Cleveland Browns for franchise-tagged defensive tackle Corey Williams. ... Third quarterback drafted, after Boston College's Matt Ryan went to Atlanta and Delaware's Joe Flacco went to Baltimore in Round 1. ... Father, Oscar and brothers Greg and Jeff also played at Louisville, with Jeff having played quarterback for two NFL seasons with San Francisco and now coaching the Cardinals' QBs. ... Best season was as a junior, when he threw for 3,049 yards with 16 TDs and five INTs in 11 games, missing two games with a torn ligament in his right (throwing) thumb. ... Started 12 games last year as a senior, throwing for 4,024 yards and 30 TDs vs. 12 INTs. ... Has excellent experience and football IQ and sees the field well, but he isn't an outstanding athlete and has had a number of injuries. ... Doesn't have the strongest arm of the QBs in the draft but can make all the throws common to NFL offenses.
Quotable: "I think the thing that impressed me about Brian is the consistency. He does everything good," Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. "When I watch him play, you always look for what the player offers you, how he fits in your system, or (if) you need to adjust your system to fit the quarterback or any other player. And I think he gives us a quarterback that's played a lot of football in college, very polished as far as being (in) a two-back scheme, a one-back scheme, playing in the shotgun. I think he's very well rehearsed, and I'm excited that he's part of our quarterback group."
