NFL.com made a list of their top 75 senior prospects for the 2016 NFL Draft, and broke the 75 into tiers of potential "top 20," "top 50," "top 80," and "top 120" picks. NCSU QB Jacoby Brissett made the cut, and was listed in the potential top 50 pick tier. They also said, "it's tough to watch Brissett (6-4, 235) without thinking of Colin Kaepernick. Brissett's build, elusiveness in the open field and strong arm will intrigue teams looking for a playmaker with the ability to connect with receivers from the pocket."
