Jennings. I feel like Rettig's high school numbers are superinflated because of the offense his high school runs, in addition to the lack of defense played in that league. He also has several interceptions because of the high pass to run ratio.

Jennings looks great, has great pocket awareness, can get out of trouble if he needs to while keeping his eyes downfield, and has a rocket for an arm. Should be great.

Similarly, from what I've read Rettig had receivers with sub-par hands. Point being, his stats could have been even more inflated. It seems like the kid has the arm and head to make the throws.

That being said, it seems like both of them are absolute studs and this is a really fortunate situation for us. Not many teams have the luxury of bringing in two prospects as highly touted as these guys. My personal prediction is that Jennings will get the nod, if only because Les & Co. have shown a marked preference for QBs with the ability to extend a play with their feet if it's needed. I know 247 classifies Jennings as pro-style, but it's obvious kid can run if needed and scout has him listed as having 4.52 speed. Hardly a statue.
