Film Review Notes
Twitchy, explosive dual-threat who consistently looks like one of the best athletes on the field. Fluid with quick feet. Gets easy depth in his drops. A legitimate run threat on keepers and scrambles, beating defenders to the edge and pulling away once in the open field. Has a tight, quick release and shows touch when layering his throws.

More of a scramble-to-run than scramble-to-pass quarterback right now. Has room to continue smoothing out his mechanics with more focus on football.
