strengths

  • He is a well-experienced athletic quarterback with above-average speed who can play and become productive in any system.
  • He displayed his productivity and engineered promising in the RPO-style offense at Penn St.
  • He demonstrates his presence in the pocket presence; he will remain composed if pressure arises.
  • He does not hesitate to step up in the pocket and does not fear the blitzing or free defender.
  • He remains focused, goes through his progression, and always keeps sight of where his targets are on the field.
  • He rarely makes too many mistakes and will be wise with the ball, roll outside the pocket, and throw the ball with zip while moving.
  • He will use his legs to buy time to deliver to his receivers; if not, he will pick up yardage on the ground and move the pile on sneaks.
  • He buys time for receivers, knows where his targets are, and spreads the ball around. 
  • Shows good timing, particularly on mesh concepts across the middle of the field

weakness

  • Despite his athleticism and production, his inconsistent accuracy and precision outside the numbers can be volatile.
  • He is not that cerebral with identifying defenses and coverages
  • He needs to gain arm strength to create strong throws in the middle of the field at the next level.
  • He will get erratic in his pocket and make poor and costly decisions.
  • His receiving crew rescued him numerous times, which awarded him with outstanding play-making catches.
  • Ball security during his career was not a strength throwing over 30 interceptions.
  • Most of his interceptions came from staring at his target while getting caught flat-footed in the pocket.
Draft Projection: 7th Round - UDFA (Priority)
