Strengths:
Outstanding athleticism...Good speed..Can buy time in the pocket and make plays with his feet...Adequate height with the frame to get bigger...Decent arm strength and has a quick release...A team leader...Throws well on the move...Displays nice ball handling skills...Had a great senior year...Still improving and has some upside.
Weaknesses:
Health and durability are concerns...Needs to bulk up and add some weight...Not comfortable in the pocket and is too eager to take off and run..Will have to adjust to a pro style offense after playing in the spread with the Ducks...Makes too many bad decisions...Poor mechanics & footwork...Accuracy is inconsistent...Much better athlete than quarterback and will need development..Is he committed to football?
Notes:
Spent the summer of 2007 playing baseball in the Atlanta Braves organization as an outfielder after being drafted in the fifth round of the MLB Draft...Also drafted by the Cincinnati Reds in the 20th round out of high school but did not sign...Tore his left ACL late in the 2007 season...Prior to the injury he was a Heisman Trophy favorite and had his team in the National Championship hunt..He could potentially move to wide receiver if things don't work out under center...Interesting prospect who definitely has some tools to work with....Project with a lot of question marks.
