Scouting Report

Assets
  • Great size and a plus arm. Can fire the ball into tight spots. Runs well and will bowl defenders over. Can throw out of the pocket as well. Can really scramble his way out of trouble.
Flaws
  • Very raw. Throwing mechanics need some serious work. A streak shooter. Still very inconsistent and unproven. Needs to adjust. Doesn't anticipate the rush well.
Career Potential
  • Borderline NFL quarterback with very little upside.
  • Awards
