## Resource

From two-star recruit to NFL Draft buzz: Darian Mensah’s meteoric rise from overlooked walk-on to elite QB prospect. At 6’3”, 205 lbs, he’s got a pinpoint deep ball, elite pocket mobility, and game-processing skills that remind scouts of Teddy Bridgewater. After a breakout 2024 at Tulane and a stellar 2025 at Duke — throwing for 6,600 yards and 56 TDs with just 12 INTs — Mensah’s journey proves grit can outshine pedigree. But he’s not without flaws: average arm strength, occasional decision-making lapses under pressure, and limited running ability. Still, with his quick-release game, he’s primed for a mid-to-late round pick — a potential low-end starter or high-end backup in a passing-heavy system. His story? Pure redemption.
