Strengths

  • Elite clutch gene with five career game-winning drives in final minute/OT, doesn't shrink when stadium gets loud
  • Releases the ball with serious velocity on deep shots, hitting receivers in stride on vertical routes consistently
  • Shows tremendous touch dropping passes into buckets on intermediate routes between linebackers and safeties effectively
  • Mental processor runs at warp speed, rarely holds ball past third read in progression
  • Pocket navigation resembles a shortstop turning two, subtle movements buy crucial extra seconds consistently
  • Tough as a two-dollar steak, bounces up from crushing hits without flinching or losing confidence
  • Film junkie who diagnoses defensive concepts pre-snap and audibles into favorable matchups with veteran savvy
  • Accuracy on timing routes hits different, consistently puts balls where only his receiver can make plays

Areas to Improve

  • Frame lacks ideal bulk at 205 pounds, durability concerns persist after taking three sacks against FCS competition
  • Throwing motion dips under pressure, leading to sailed passes over the middle of field
  • Arm talent won't blow anyone away, struggles driving ball into tight windows against zone coverage
  • Athletic ceiling limited compared to modern dual-threat quarterbacks, won't create explosive plays with legs
  • Pocket awareness occasionally lapses when protection holds up, taking unnecessary coverage sacks rather than throwing away
