Quarterback

Big framed quarterback who can stress a defense with his arm or his legs. Pure thrower from the pocket with effortless delivery. Clean mechanics with a tight release, depth and balance on his drops and the ball jumps out of his hand. Comfortable throwing rolling out to his right or left and can get it out from different arm angles. Shows ability to escape pressure, extend plays and is dangerous when the pocket breaks down. Can pick up chunks of yards on designed run plays or scramble for 1st downs when flushed. Decisive with his reads and has a natural feel for the position in terms of throwing with anticipation and changing speeds. Has made a nice jump over the last year and is a trend-up quarterback who has the ability to be a multi-year starter at the P4 level with an NFL ceiling.
