Quarterbacks that attend will be charted and graded on over 100 reps. The grades will be based on skill execution, play outcome, leadership ability, QB IQ, and poise to crown the top attending QB. Throughout the weekend leaderboards will be updated and posted based on overall score. This is a true test of what it will be like at the collegiate level. Our rubrics & scoring system makes this camp very unique. This is New England's Premier QB camp for Exposure, Development, and Competition. The top 8 overall QB's will be crowned as the New England 8.
Wide Receivers/ Defensive Backs that attend will be given gear, coached by current/former College coaches, scored , and top 5 performers will be crowned.
