Strong enough to be effective on quarterback sneaks. Throws accurately when running to the right. Buys himself time and can find open receivers when scrambling. Experience under center and in the shotgun.
weaknesses
Has a real tendency to throw off his back foot. Inconsistent accuracy, has too many passes sail on him due to high release point. Trusts his arm too much and throws into coverage when he is under pressure. Gets lazy on short throws, losing accuracy and quick delivery. Does not utilize his lower body in his throws. Inaccurate when rolling to his left. Does not see the entire field well, determine who he is throwing to before the snap. Does not have a good feel for backside or inside pressure. Not a great athlete and is a somewhat clumsy runner who will struggle to evade NFL defenders.
