Per Pat:
One of the best private quarterback coaches in America grew up in the Field neighborhood of south Minneapolis, not far from McRae Park, where he played football and other sports with similarly energetic local kids.
Quincy Avery calls Atlanta home now, though his mother, Paulette, still lives in the house where he grew up; he bought it for her a few years back. Some NFL executives believe there’s no better developer of quarterbacks than this 5-foot-10 bundle of energy with a thick beard and shaved head. Avery tutored stars like Philadelphia’s Jalen Hurts, Houston’s C.J. Stroud, Cleveland’s Deshaun Watson and Green Bay’s Jordan Love.
One of the few Black private instructors in the industry, Avery — the son of Wendell Avery, a Minnesota Golden Gophers quarterback in the late 1970s and a former Tampa Bay Bucs assistant coach — is the subject of a new Hulu documentary, “The Quincy Avery Effect.” It chronicles his rise from Minneapolis Washburn High School backup quarterback through today, running his renowned QB Takeover training program for high school, college and pro clients.
Though many of Avery’s highest profile clients are Black, he’ll train anyone with the desire to be great. Take Max Brosmer, a Roswell, Ga. product who started working with Avery in seventh grade and just finished at the University of Minnesota. Avery and Kevin O’Connell, now the Vikings head coach, met years ago as instructors at Elite 11, a premier quarterback camp for high schoolers in California. So Avery was delighted when Brosmer landed a free agent contract with the Vikings.
“I think Max could have a really long career in the NFL,” Avery said. “I never would have thought that’s where he was going to be, but he was really diligent about the work he was willing to put in. He was unrelenting in doing those things, and it’s really cool to see where he’s at today.”
