Here's what SI All-American had to say about Brock Vandagriff: 

Possessing a promising frame that appears to have gotten even stronger this offseason, Vandagriff is an elite decision-maker with ideal physical tools. The Peach State native has plus arm strength and seamlessly ties his lower-half with his eyes and arm while clicking through his progressions from the pocket. Not to be restricted, Vandagriff possesses a good feel for perimeter pressure and enough athleticism and mobility to maneuver through traffic and produce off-schedule. He has a good 2-count release that allows him to drive the ball to targets through the third level and from the boundary to the field. Vandagriff projects well as the trigger man in an offense with 3-step and 5-step rhythm concepts in its passing game.

Former NFL and College football coach, Jim Mora had some great things to say about Vandagriff: 

"I think there's a lot to like with Brock. Number one, I like that he's a coach's kid. I think when you are a coach's kid, you are around the game at a different level than some of the others that are maybe playing the position. For a quarterback to be a coach's kid I think you have a different understanding of all the things it takes to play the position and be a leader at the position" 

He continued: 

I also like his size. We are talking about a kid that's filled out, he's 6'3 about 210 pounds and he's got excellent movement for a guy his size. When I first started watching him I thought he may be a little stiff in the hips, but as I continued to watch him, some of that went away. 

He also didn't shy away from a rather lofty player comparison:

"I love the way he carries himself on the field. I think he's got swagger. I also think he's got tremendous wide-field vision. When the play starts to break down and he has to move outside of the pocket, and he's got to step up and out or roll out the backside, he's able to keep his eyes upfield and see the entire field and make some throws that remind me a little of a guy by the name of Brett Farve."
