Lowdown: Mississauga native has a cannon for an arm but struggles mightily with accuracy. He has sloppy footwork and throws with almost no touch. Despite that, his physical tools and arm strength might intrigue a team that is willing to be patient in bringing him along. … Bridge has a local connection in that he was heavily recruited to the University at Buffalo before Turner Gill left the program. … Started his college career at Alcorn State before transferring to South Alabama. Hopes to become the first Jaguars player drafted. … Participated in the Manning Academy in 2013, as well as the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl after the 2014 season.

They said it: “Brandon Bridge is interesting. … He’s a project. He’s very raw. … He’s got a whip – it’s just he has no idea what he’s doing yet.” – NFL Network draft analyst Mike Mayock.
