The NFL is a new beginning for former Tennessee quarterback Tyler Bray, a new beginning he is taking full advantage of so far.
Taking a quick break from studying this playbook. It was starting to make me dizzy from looking at it too long. #chiefsnation#grind

Bray’s preparation habits and seriousness about being an NFL quarterback were two huge question marks that teams had about him going into the draft.
As with everything in the NFL it’s very early and all new to the rookies. Eventually the first year players will hit the “rookie wall” as the summer turns into a grind. Bray will have to show he can keep his focus and keep working hard to improve himself as a quarterback and a leader.
Bray’s teammate, and fellow Tennessee Volunteer, Eric Berry likes what he’s seeing so far in the rookie quarterback.
"That’s my dawg, I know he’s going to come and do great things for the Chiefs. Right now, I can’t really get him out of the hotel because he’s been studying his playbook and watching film, so, he’s pretty much locked in and focused."
Like we said, it’s very early, but first impressions are everything.
Bray’s getting that second chance everyone dreams of in life and he’s not taking it for granted.
