Speaking to media members at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama on Wednesday, Tulane quarterback Michael Pratt said he has already had “a couple of interviews” with the Denver Broncos.
After completing 60.6% of his passes for 9,611 yards with 90 touchdowns against 26 interceptions in four years (46 games) with the Green Wave, Pratt (6-2, 200 pounds) believes he would be a good fit for coach Sean Payton’s offense in Denver.
“I think that’s something that I excel in — my intermediate pass game, being consistent, that kind of stuff,” Pratt said, via Andrew Mason of DenverSports.com. “So just from what I have seen from his style of offense, it’s something that I feel like I would definitely fit into really well.”
Having coached in New Orleans for 16 years, Payton has a good relationship with Tulane University, where the Saints often held training camp practices. He knows former Green Wave head coach Willie Fritz, and Tulane offensive line coach Dan Roushar coached under Payton with the Saints from 2013-2021.
Payton has plenty of connections to the school, so he should be able to find out anything he needs to know about Pratt. It’s also worth noting that Pratt told Tulane sideline reporter Maddy Hudak that he watches clips of former NFL quarterback Drew Brees to learn from the QB’s film.
The stars might be aligning for Denver to select Pratt in the third round of the 2024 NFL draft, just as Draft Wire has predicted. Pratt will be a notable QB to keep an eye on during the Senior Bowl on Saturday.
