Draft Scouting Report

Rating: 69.84 (Role player)

Pro Comparison: Dan Orlovsky

Strengths:

Long quarterback with a strong arm. Throws with touch. Good pocket presence. Throws a tight spiral. Good ball placement. Willing to stand tall in the pocket and take a hit. Follows through in his throwing motion.

Weaknesses:

Lean build that will not stand up to the punishment of playing quarterback in the NFL. Has to do a better job with pre-snap reads and in play processing. Needs improved awareness. Average to below average mobility. Slow release and no one buys his fakes. Deep ball accuracy has been inconsistent. Footwork in the pocket can improve. Stares down targets too often.

Accolades:

Second in program history in career passing TDs (58) and passing yards (6,511) and third in completions (482)
