Can buy time in the pocket. Passes with a 3/4 release. Not an elusive scrambler, but can run for positive yards. Has the strength to step through or ward off a tackler. Can shake a high tackler above his shoulders. Plays in a spread pitch and catch offense. Tough when he is in rhythm. Demonstrates a good football IQ and takes advantage of his pre-snap reads. Good pocket awareness. Hangs in the pocket. Stands tall reading coverages then delivers a catchable ball to a variety of receivers. Good timing and touch when given time. Accurate on back shoulder throw. Has touch and velocity short and medium. Can threaten safeties deep with vertical arm strength. Can throw deep out patterns on a line with good timing. Accurate with good touch on fade routes. Sets his feet and fires ball on a hitch, seam, or out routes. Takes what the defense gives him. Patient and efficient. Not extemporaneous. Struggles if there is a change to what he expects to see on the field. Needs to improve his footwork and set up from snaps under center. More comfortable in the shotgun.
