Strengths: A dual-threat, vibrant, and athletic quarterback who can hurt defenses in the open field. Very shifty and light on his feet for a 6'2" 220-pound quarterback at his size. Ability to read defenses while going to his progressions. Blessed with excellent vision and the ability to improvise plays when the protection breaks down. Impeccable feet work that allows him to escape the smallest areas. When pushed from protection, does not panic and keeps eyes down the field while scrambling or taking off running. Has a knack of feeling the pressure and ability to make the right decisions. Have a powerful arm that can make the throws to the tight window routes. Phenomena touch passer on intermediate or deep routes. A very tough competitor who can break tackles and absorb massive hits and bounce right back up. Will stay in the pocket to the last second and take the hits to get the ball off down the field. Generally accurate while throwing the ball the field. Ability to manipulate the secondary with his eyes to push the ball deep down the field.
Weaknesses: Needs to secure the ball at the next level better. He seems to lock-in on a single receiver as opposed to going through his full progressions immediately. When that occurs, it put him in incautious situations allowing him to perform poor decisions. Tries to be too creative in the pocket with trying to avoid pressure and will spiral directly back into pressure. At times his touch passes will float too long and allow the defender to contest the pass or overthrow the ball.
Draft Grade: 6.0
Draft Projection: 2nd-3rd round
NFL Comparison: Tyrod Taylor
