Trent Dilfer threw some high praise at Dwayne Haskins earlier this offseason comparing him to New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.

On Monday while speaking to Sports Illustrated, Haskins was asked about the comparison and agrees with it and thinks from the neck up they are a lot alike.

“From the neck up, I feel like I’m a lot like Tom Brady,” Haskins said, as transcribed by WEEI.com. “From how I study, to all the time I commit to get ready for the game. To how I ready defenses, to how I pick up protections and to how I operate with my guys. And that’s just a great comparison for me because I want to be like Tom Brady. He’s one of the best quarterbacks of all time, if not the best. Just to be able to be in the same sentence and be Tom Brady-ish is pretty cool to me.”

To some that might come across as cocky that Haskins thinks he is a lot like Brady, but it's good to see a young quarterback think highly enough about how he thinks about that game that he thinks he is like a Hall of Famer.

There is a lot of talk that the New York Giants could take him with their first-round pick, but whatever team takes him, the hope is that Dilfer and Haskins are right, that he does think a lot like Tom Brady. Even if he becomes 3/4 the player that Brady is, they are going to be in for a lot of team success for a long time.
