Scouting Report
Had plenty of arm strength and good size for an NFL quarterback. Led receivers well and timed his throws nicely. Brought good footwork and solid overall mechanics to the pocket, moved quickly, and could scramble for yardage. Was a fine overall athlete. Too streaky as a passer. He also locked onto his target at times and too often threw into double coverage. Could get too fine at times and lacked the timing to complete quick-hitters. Looked like a star at times and a mistake-prone QB at others.
Long Range Potential: Decent backup quarterback.
