UConn Backup Quarterback Johnny McEntee’s “Trick Passes” Video Has Gone Viral

(By Brad Cohen, SportsGrid) - Quarterback Johnny McEntee has yet to throw a single down for the UConn Huskies, so how has the redshirt junior been spending his time? Apparently practicing a whole bunch of trick passes.

McEntee created a trick-pass video, and within 15 hours it had already gotten almost 14,000 hits on YouTube. Some of the highlights include blind-folded passes, a ricochet off the ceiling of the practice facility and through the goal post, and passes from the basketball stands into a hoop.

The QB seems to be pretty accurate, but we have no idea how many attempts and how much editing it took to produce this video. For all we know, he spent weeks missing his target before he got a usable clip. So for all us doubters, McEntee had a teammate balance a water bottle on his head (and risk a broken nose, 'Varsity Blues' style) before McEntee threw a pass to knock it off.
