◊ leadership & intangibles; competitive toughness; he's a winner
◊ good football IQ
◊ athleticism to make plays with his legs; not a dual-threat guy but has decent mobility in and out of pocket to keep plays alive
◊ adequate arm strength to make all the throws at the next level; pretty good velocity
◊ throws a good fade ball
– pocket awareness is severely lacking; does not feel/sense pressure well at all, especially from blindside
– inconsistent accuracy at all levels of the field; deep routes are probably the most consistent but I get the feeling some of his deep balls are more prayers than intentional; really struggles with out routes, putting them either too high or behind his receivers »» there were some issues with receivers dropping passes as well
– slower release which sometimes leads to off timing with throws; release point is also low and he gets a lot of balls batted down at the line of scrimmage
– takes a lot of unnecessary risks and puts the ball in danger — ie. throwing off back foot, under pressure, into double coverage in the middle of the field
– doesn't see the field well
