Scouting Report
A fantastic athlete at QB. Has a knack for reading defenses, then uses his great arm, huge size, and superb rushing ability to make plays for his team. Larger than the average QB yet runs like a fullback. Fearless in going for the big play: can both hit the deep target and scramble for major yardage. A take-charge leader. Sometimes plays a bit out of control and will lean on his athleticism and force things. Needs to keep working on overall game management and doing the little things. Sometimes doesn't handle adversity ideally.
Long Range Potential: Playmaking superstar quarterback.
