SIZE/PHYSICAL TRAITS (4.5/5)
- Prototypical quarterback dimensions at 6-4, 228 lbs.
- Hands are on the smaller side at 9″ — ball security could be a concern
ACCURACY/BALL PLACEMENT (17.5/25)
- Short accuracy/placement is slightly below average
- Decent intermediate accuracy
- Good touch/accuracy on the deep ball
- Very erratic with ball placement — oftentimes forces receivers into steep adjustments, limits YAC opportunities due to poor ball location
- Throws a good back-shoulder ball
- Hit-or-miss with accuracy on the move
- Struggles with accuracy under duress
ARM STRENGTH (13.5/15)
- Good arm strength/velocity — can access tight windows at all levels of the field
- Capable of making every required NFL throw
- Sometimes loses velocity on the move due to poor mechanics
MENTAL PROCESSING (14/20)
- Progression work is encouraging — has shown the ability to work from one side of the field to the other, but progression rate is concerning
- Can be a slow processor — doesn’t always notice uncovered receivers as quickly as he should
- Shows signs of anticipatory feel — especially on out-breaking routes
- Fairly careful with the ball when he’s not under pressure
- Tends to force the ball into tight coverage when he senses pressure
POCKET PRESENCE (10.5/15)
- Decent pocket awareness/feel for pressure
- Steps up in the pocket occasionally, but needs to climb the pocket more consistently to avoid edge pressure — prefers to drift/move laterally or bail out of the pocket completely
- Pressure often causes him to compromise his throwing base
MECHANICS (2/5)
- Quick release
- Arm slots/throwing motion are inconsistent from throw to throw
- Sidearm delivery leads to a fair number of batted passes
- Falls away from too many throws, especially when he senses pressure
- Has a bad habit of locking out his front leg when he’s setting up to throw
- Doesn’t always bring his back foot forward on the follow through
MOBILITY (3.5/5)
- Fairly mobile — will pick up some first downs on scramble plays and can be utilized on zone-read runs on occasion
- Pretty good at extending plays outside of the pocket with his legs
INTANGIBLES (8.5/10)
- Very experienced (50 games under his belt)
- Showed good year-to-year improvement, especially from sophomore to junior year
- Didn’t seem to get rattled by mistakes
OVERALL GRADE: 74.00/100.00 – 3RD ROUND — Complimentary starter or raw player with star potential
