Summary
Behren Morton is a technically sound pocket passer who displays strong arm talent and polished mechanics. He excels at layering throws to the intermediate and deep levels, often dropping passes into tight windows with impressive touch. While he primarily wins from the pocket, he has enough mobility to pick up yards on the ground. He must improve his poise under pressure and better protect himself when running.
About
- Career: Fourth in Texas Tech history in passing yards (8,989), passing TD (71), pass attempts (1,263), total TD (78) and total offense (8,951)
- Career: First Texas Tech QB to lead program to outright conference title since 1955 (Buddy Hill)
Strengths
- High-level arm talent with excellent touch on deep and layered throws.
- Consistent accuracy and “YACcuracy” in the quick passing game.
- Sound mechanics with feet and upper body well connected.
Weaknesses
- Becomes jittery and prone to “happy feet” under pressure.
- Lacks elite anticipation, occasionally delivering the ball a beat late.
- Tendency to invite big hits rather than sliding in the open field.

Patriots' Behren Morton: Lands in New England
The Patriots selected Morton in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 234th overall.
Morton (6-foot-2, 218 pounds) struggled as a second- and third-year starter for Texas Tech in 2022 and 2023, and even in his otherwise improved fourth season he strained to move the ball (63.3 percent completed, 7.2 yards per attempt). The positive news is Morton really fixed his touchdown to turnover ratio in that fourth season, throwing 27 touchdowns to eight interceptions. Back to the bad news: Morton is decently athletic (4.89-second pro day 40) yet took enough sacks at the collegiate level that it's reasonable to suspect both that Morton is not a threat to run at the NFL level and that he's not even a candidate to manage pocket pressure especially well. Of course, the Patriots may only view Morton as a viable backup to Drake Maye, but even that might be a hasty expectation.
