An athlete’s timeline from their high school years all the way to the pros doesn’t always follow a linear path and such is the case with a converted signal caller that found his calling as a defensive back late in the recruiting process, but made the best of his situation by establishing himself as one of the standout defenders at the Division II level that has been captivating the attention of NFL scouts during the pre-draft process.

Broussard had designs on following in the footsteps of his boyhood idol Michael Vick by emerging as that same type of playmaking field general with the arm and legs to keep defenses on their toes during his time at the California-based Clovis High School.
