Scouting Report
At times he has shown he can really power the ball down the field with authority. He does a good job throwing away from defensive backs and limiting turnovers. Pretty mobile in the pocket for his size. He's ideally tall for the pocket, towering over the line. His long arms help him throw over defenders. Possesses big mitts for both holding onto and throwing the football. Can make some plays with his feet. Fairly quick-footed when getting out of trouble. Efficiency, play-reading, and overall polish as a passer are all areas he needs work on. While not pickoff-prone he isn't an accurate passer yet. Consistency is an issue, and he really needs to shore up his game.
Long Range Potential: Potential star quarterback.
