The Good
– Keeps eyes downfield on the move, uses legs to extend play and doesn’t look to immediately take off
– Squares his shoulders to improve accuracy out of the pocket, capable moving left or right
– Shows plus accuracy at all levels to middle of field (glance/dig/post/seam)
– Shows rhythm and timing on breaking routes, will hang tough in the pocket
– Good athlete, runs hard, escapes sacks as passer, threat on designed runs (read/option, QB power)
– Winner and productive, found ways to come out on top in fourth quarter
– Passable arm strength, willing and able to fit passes into tight windows over the middle
– Shows touch when needed
– Trusts his receivers to make plays
– Shows IQ and ability to beat the blitz
– Competitor and plays with energy
– Compact and quick release
– Good carriage of the football on the move, doesn’t loosely hold ball down at his hip
– Smart, takes care of football, and finds ways to avoid sacks/interceptions and negative plays
The Bad
– On shorter end with average frame and hand size
– Deep pass accuracy is scattershot with too many uncompetitive misses
– Struggles against pressure and will force throws/make mistakes under siege
– A little stiff and upright as a passer in the pocket, can get up on his toes, which may cause passes to float and sail
– Arm strength is fine but not overwhelmingly good
– Became over reliant on throwing fades/jump balls/back shoulders and asked his tall WRs to make 1v1 plays
– Coming off severe leg/ankle injury, questions over rookie readiness
– Lacks a ton of experience playing under center
– May lack true defining trait as a passer
– Older than most prospects
