| Professional Scouting Report | His ceiling is somewhere between JaMarcus Russell and David Garrard in 2008, the floor is 2008 draft flop Andre Woodson. Has the physical tools that teams covet but the toolbox isn’t real organized. If he clicks with stronger coaching and the NFL culture he could be David Garrard in 2007 and a real steal.
|
| Strengths | Physically imposing pocket presence with the arm to match. Very good touch on his throws. Has very long range with his arm. Very physically strong and tough, can take a licking and keep on ticking. Feels pressure well, anticipates the rush nicely most of the time. Strong runner who is a legit threat with his legs. Did not have anywhere near the talented supporting casts of the other Big 12 QBs and still put up pretty solid completion percentages and TD/INT ratio (better if his runs are factored in). Has some experience in pro-style sets.
|
| Weaknesses | Inconsistent performances, even from half to half, dogged his college career. Often babies the ball instead of firing it in. Accuracy is not pinpoint; will make his receivers work more than other QBs to make catches and turn into runners. Played in a conference where pass defense often consisted of allowing the other team to score quicker to get the ball back to their own offense, so the numbers are artificially inflated. Doesn’t always see underneath coverage. Delivery can be mechanical and slower than desired. Will lock onto his primary receiver and try to force it in. Needs to improve looking off safeties and diagnosing coverages. Often delivers the ball a count late. Appears to take failure very hard.
