Film Review Notes
Smooth, instinctive operator who plays fast and on time. Sets up with a wide base and gets the ball out of his hand quickly. Steps up in the pocket to deliver in the face of the rush and keeps his eyes downfield when buying time. Shows good timing with his receivers and layers throws with touch.

Processes and plays fast, helped by playing against tough competition. Makes plays off-script, finding receivers when the pocket breaks down.
