Film Review Notes
Efficient, heady passer who wins with processing, accuracy, and timing. Diagnoses quickly and flips through his reads, getting the ball out on time to receivers in stride. Has fluid throwing motion with a tight release. Delivers with zip in the short and intermediate areas of the field. Layers throws with good touch. Plays with evident confidence in executing his offense. Not afraid to challenge tight windows. Athleticism allows him to escape pressure and keep his eyes downfield. Also is a threat to pull it down and score near the goal line.
