In a report from Howard Simon of WGR 550 Sports Radio on Friday, Nassib, who will play in the Senior Bowl next Saturday, Jan. 26, seemed to think Buffalo would be a good fit for him.
Here’s Nassib, from the interview:
“Quarterbacks want to get drafted to a team where there’s a quarterbacks coach that can develop them. Who better to be with than a guy you’ve been with for three years?”(Hackett is also the Bills QB Coach). If I had the opportunity to go there, it would definitely be awesome.”
Nassib is the ninth-best quarterback prospect in this year’s draft, according to SB Nation’s Dan Kadar in his positional rankings. In 2012, Nassib threw for 3,749 yards -- completing 62.4 percent of his throws -- along with 26 touchdowns and 10 interceptions.
