Draft Profile & Scouting Report
Above average ability to escape the pocket, extend plays, and create on his own
Completion percentage was 62.5% however arm accuracy is definitely above average and fell victim to a lot of drops by his receivers
Has a rocket launcher for an arm and throws a very live ball; down field throws are crisp & showed many 65 yd+ throws on tape
Vision is average to slightly above as, looked much better managing the offense in 2020 with a more accomplished wide receiver group
Looking at his 2020 and 2021 tapes are two totally different quarterbacks; if put together could represent a very complete and potential STAR at the QB position
Above average anticipation and excellent ball placement; nearly always gives his receiver a chance for YAC
Did not see this in 2020 but rushing ability was on full display in 2021 with 828 yds/11 TDs on the ground; very crafty runner & tough to bring down
A little on the smaller side for an NFL QB at 6’ 1”, 218 lbs
Ball slap HAS-TO-GO as produces a slow windup; otherwise a very quick release and hopeful this can be cleaned up relatively easy
Footwork still needs some work; will throw off his back foot at times which hurts his completion percentage
Very quick to break the pocket in 2021 and needs to be much less aggressive as in 2020
Pocket presence is lacking at times; leads to a lot of strips/fumbles and sacks taken (48 in 2021)
Always looking for the home-run ball in 2021; does not read the field and limited reads most of the time
Forces the ball at times and resulted in 9 INTs; will put the ball on the ground at times
