Jarrett Stidham, former Auburn QB and 2019 NFL draft prospect, talks to The QB podcast during a break in training for NFL draft [Ep. 14]
Jarrett Stidham is our latest guest on the QB podcast. The former Auburn star will be one of the most talked about quarterbacks going into this year's draft. A product of Stephenville, Texas, a real-life Varsity Blues town and perennial Lone Star state title contender, Stidham took an unconventional path to Auburn. Out of high school, the 5-star-rated QB committed then decommitted to Texas Tech (TT fans weren't pleased), then attended Big 12 program, Baylor University, before he ultimately settled at SEC power, Auburn. Stidham talks to Quincy and Brian about growing up in a small, football-crazed Texas town; the reaction to his decommitting from Texas Tech; the intensity of the Alabama v. Auburn rivalry he describes as the greatest in sports [Quincy respectfully disagreed]; and his pre-draft training with fellow draft prospects, Drew Lock (Missouri) and Tyree Jackson (Buffalo). The three were trained by QB trainer, Jordan Palmer.
Weeks after we spoke to Stidham, he had an NFL Pro day at Auburn coach Palmer describes as one of the most impressive qb pro days he's ever seen. Stidham's stock might be rising.
As this 18-minute conversation makes clear, Stidham's got a great sense of humor, laser-sharp focus on improving his skills, abundant confidence, and a very bright future somewhere in the National Football League.
