Jets Draft QB; James Morgan in 4th Round

With their 2nd pick in the 4th round the Jets selected a QB, James Morgan from FIU. The 6’4″ 229″ originally attended Bowling Green before transferring to FIU.

Here is his scouting report from NFL.com.

It’s easy to tell that the Green Bay native favors quarterbacks like Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers when you watch his tape. Unfortunately, while he has similar zip to the Packer legends, he’s nowhere near as accurate and lacks any semblance of touch. Morgan is very capable of making impressive throws to all areas of the field, but his violent release and inconsistent footwork hinder functional ball placement and accuracy.
