#6 Ben DiNucci Highlights (#10 highlight film)

Strengths: He has a suitable size for the quarterback position and has a live arm that can make most throws at the NFL level. He has a lot of courage, determination and a great deal of improvisation. He displays tenacity and confidence as well as he his great physical tools.  He is a accurated passer (completed 70% last season), and has a big arm that can span for big plays downfield. An excellent cerebral player who perceives the field and when need will run outside the pocket to make plays when being pressured by the pass rusher. He also will not just stand in the pocket after his progression he will display his mobility to hurt the defense with his legs. He rushed for nearly 600 yards in addition to 3,400 passing yards.

Weaknesses: His playstyle accommodates himself to potential turnover and miscues.
He has a mentality of an old western gunslinger that goes rogue, which causes him predicaments in the passing game. He threw to many interceptions typically by him, attempting to complete impossible passes. He will need to find better reads and secure the ball, particularly in the red zone, where he runs into his difficulties. He will need to perform better decision making choices when he get the keys to the offense.
