Scouting Report

Assets
  • Great athlete and runs very well. Hard working. A smart guy who puts in his time in the film room.
Flaws
  • Injury-prone. Not well built. Does not have an elite arm, and has small hands. More book smart than field smart: makes decisions late and misreads coverages. Has had some run-ins with his coaches.
Career Potential
  • Starting quarterback.
