It’s unfair to compare Penn State football likely-starting QB Sean Clifford to the scrambling ability of either Trace McSorley or Tommy Stevens. He’s a different quarterback and that’s not a bad thing at all. But the funny thing about people’s comparisons of Clifford to past QBs, is that some want to proclaim him a pure, pocket passer and that’s just not true. Clifford’s athleticism is criminally underrated, and he proved some doubters wrong in the spring game.
In his reserve reps during the 2018 season, Clifford showed off a big, powerful right arm, which made some believe he’s a strong gunslinger that can air it out from anywhere on the field and totally different from the past dual threat QBs.
