Darian Mensah: UM's QB Upgrade Draws NFL Praise and High Hopes
TL;DR Summary
Duke transfer Darian Mensah, who finished the regular season second in the nation in touchdown passes and passing yards and helped Duke win the ACC title and Sun Bowl, has drawn NFL‑level praise from coaches and analysts. He's an accurate, pocket‑poised passer who thrives in play‑action and posted standout numbers when blitzed (65.3% on 199 attempts, 22 TDs, 2 INT); however, his accuracy drops under heavy pressure and he had eight fumbles last season. His deep‑ball numbers are uneven, but his overall skill set and leadership give UM a high‑upside quarterback with noticeable pro potential if he continues to develop.
