CAREER HIGHLIGHTS

strengths

weakness

  • He played in a system that featured a pro-style offense while playing underneath the center. 
  • He has a stable base while standing firm in the pocket.
  • He is a smooth quarterback who can disguise play-action passes well. 
  • He can check through his progression and gook decision-making before throwing the ball.
  • He demonstrates a friendly, robust, and accurate ball with excellent precision.
  • He will throw accurately with bootleg passes to the broad side of the field.
  • He has a quick delivery to get the ball out of his hand to his target to avoid sacks.
  • He will take off, keeping his eyes down and waiting until the last second to run.
  • He lacks the mobility to escape pressure when the pocket collapses.
  • He made many force errors and needs to improve when under duress.
  • His ball placement became inconsistent; by struggling to get the ball to the receiver.
  • He attempted to force passes in small windows, gambling and leading to interceptions.
  • He needs to install a clock in his head and lacks the feel of pressure from the blind side.
Draft Projection: 5th - 7th Round
