Explosive as an open-field scrambler and has a knack for making big plays. Keeps defenses on their toes: a good passer with a great touch and solid arm strength, and a constant threat as a run-option threat. A positive presence as a leader as well. Injuries have already been a big factor limiting his development as a pro. Doesn't have ideal size and can struggle at times in the pocket. Sometimes lacks patience and will force things (leading to a tendency to get hit too much and fumbling issues). Must prove himself as a play-caller. | |
