Problem is Van Buren is very inaccurate & inconsistent in the short to mid passing game (and I’m being kind). The one thing he’s good at is throwing the deep ball.
I fully realize he’s a true freshman playing a bunch of top 10 teams. But I’m started to wonder how high his upside is as he’s not a natural passer (accuracy and touch issues) and he’s a good, but not great runner. Plus his size is always going to be an issue at times.

He’s got to work a lot on his footwork & fundamentals as a passer. As well as understanding & reading the defenses & pocket awareness. . Hard to say how much he’ll improve. He’s got a chance to be really good. But we’ve all seen a lot of guys like him that are never better than average.
