What the tape shows

Style: Dual Threat Strengths: Quick to improvise—if first read isn’t open, will immediately get vertical. Excellent pocket evasion; identifies and attacks open interior lanes. Short and intermediate anticipation is a plus; throws with timing when in rhythm. Functional arm strength (~55+ yards). Passing Notes: Deep-ball accuracy is inconsistent; misses downfield more often than desired. Works best in short/intermediate timing concepts. Needs to stack throws—start with rhythm concepts before pushing vertical. Processing Notes: First-read reliant; progression speed must improve. Slow to check down or pivot to backside concepts. Improvisation ability is good, but overly reliant on it when structure holds. Developmental Points: Expand read progression comfort. Clean up deep-ball mechanics and accuracy. Improve discipline staying in structure before scrambling. Projection: Athletic dual threat with solid improvisation tools. Can stress defenses with legs and short-game timing. Needs development in deep accuracy and full-field reads to elevate from a playmaker to a consistent every-down QB.
