QUARTERBACK
Strengths
He is without a doubt one of the biggest under the radar quarterback talents when you think of legitimate high caliber, down the road drafted starting quarterbacks in the league.
He possesses ideal size and athleticism for the position. Reminds me of a larger and a bit more athletic version of former NFL league MVP quarterback "Rich Gannon".
He displays a quick setup and good balance in the pocket. With solid ball handling skills, which goes a long way into selling plays to the defense, and throwing them off balance.
He displays good poise and calmness under pressure situations. All the while standing tall in the pocket leading his team downfield. He is a quick and decisive decision maker with the ball. Showing multiple progression reads throughout pass plays.
He shows effective toughness and escapability often times breaking would be tacklers within the pocket, and still maintaining good presence of mind keeping his eyes downfield in the passing game. He has a bit of a gunslinger or riverboat mentality. Meaning he doesn't allow the possibility of failure to control his play on the field.
He shows good timing & effectiveness on the variety of passes needed to be successful at the next level. He possesses a picture perfect delivery, release point, and follow through across the body.
He displays good placement, timing, and touch on balls thrown to receivers. Which many times benefits them gaining additional yardage after catch (YAC). He shows a live arm with velocity to spare. And a consistent spiraled tight rope, with plenty of arm strength on downfield throws. With the ability to throw across his body effectively, and complete passes without having to set his feet. Which is rare.
He displays his versatility using his athleticism to extend plays in the passing game, rolling out moving the pocket left or right avoiding pressure, and showing the ability to make effective throws on the run.
He further shows his athleticism when pressured to leave the pocket, and frequently picking up positive yardageas a legitimate dual threat behind center.
Weaknesses
At times judgment and decision making questioned staring down primary receivers (making him susceptible to the interception)
His passing mechanics tend to breakdown at times when he is on the move
Projected Round
7th Round
My Value Board
Bottom Of 4th Round Not a reflection of his skill level, but more a reflection of good value. Selecting a QB this low in the draft and having a high probability of not only starting, but having a very successful career behind center! Is a selection I would take every time!
Summary
There is no question if this quarterback is given the time to marinate and mature on the sidelines for a year or two, he will become a highly effective starting NFL quarterback.
