Typically mini-camps and the first days of training camp are not enough for a rookie to have an accurate feel for the speed of the NFL.
Tyler Bray, however, thinks he has it pegged already.
Tyler Bray told me today the speed of the NFL is the same as SEC speed #chiefs

There’s no doubt that the SEC is the closest college football conference to the NFL, in terms of speed.
But it’s not the same, far from it actually. That’s another debate for another day.
Regardless of how you feel about the speed of the game, there’s no way Bray can compare the speed of the two, when he hasn’t even went through a padded practice yet.
Bray’s questionable comments didn’t stop there either.
Bray also told me he chose the #chiefs over the jags and #dolphins because "Andy Reid gets QB's paid" #Chiefs

Hopefully the former Tennessee Volunteer will realize it’s not the coach that gets you paid, you get yourself paid.
If Bray doesn’t perform extremely well, then it won’t matter who his coach is when it comes time for his next contract.
Tyler Bray has a long way to go if he wants to make an impact with the Kansas City Chiefs. He certainly has the arm talent, but he’ll have to prove he can put it all together upstairs if he plans on having an important role as a quarterback.
