Nfl.com has him rated as a 7.4 (perennial all pro)
His “Strengths” are the some of the dumbest, most desperate things I’ve ever seen. It’s obvious that they’ll do whatever they can to pump this guy up as a once in a generation player and I mean they scrape the bottom of the barrel of some of them.
These are the Strengths per NFL.com with my thought in parentheses.
Played rare volume of high-leverage games as three-year starter.
(What?)
86-4 record as a starter dating back to high school. (Highschool really?)
Commanding presence with unmistakable air of confidence. (He looks confident, what a man)
Elite size, athleticism and play traits.
(Elite? Like Lamar then?)
Dual-threat capabilities will add to his explosive play totals. (So does everybody but Brady and rothlesburger)
Speed, wiggle and toughness for zone-read and called runs. (They just repeated themselves)
Understands how to protect himself.
(One of his weaknesses nfl lists is that he needs to slide more, lol)
Feet stay calm when working from pocket.
Subtle pocket slides to stay pass-ready and on platform.
Internal clock helps him stay on schedule.
(Grasping at straws now)
High-level escapability when pocket collapses.
Pinpoint accuracy on basic throws.
(Well I’d hope so)
Sticks short throws into run-ready placement.
Ability to generate sudden torque for drive velocity. (Oddly specific but ok)
Arm to challenge safeties and work into tight windows.
Willing to take punishment to deliver throw with poise.
Alters arm slot to sling it around incoming bodies.
Capable of altering touch and trajectory when needed.
Unlikely to opt-out into checkdown prematurely.
Delivers lasers to the back shoulder.
