Strengths: Prototypical measurables – Elite leadership and intangibles - Unshakably confident – System experience is a huge plus – Effective on play-action and other fakes - Good arm strength – Improving accuracy - Throws very well on the run.
Weaknesses: Throwing mechanics from the pocket need work – Doesn’t step into every throw – Footwork and balance need tuned – Has a tendency to lock onto a receiver – Tries to fit the ball into tight spaces a bit too often – Decision making needs work.
