Scouting Report
Had excellent size and stature. With a very good arm, he could put a lot of mustard on the ball. Played like a star when he was in the zone. Ran well enough to escape danger. Was injury-prone. Ran too hot and cold to be a starter in the NFL, and his mistakes came in bunches. Sometimes he threw behind receivers or rifled balls that required a softer touch. Made bad decisions from time to time.
Long Range Potential: Streaky, inconsistent but talented backup quarterback.
