Elite college QBs are not always great pros. How do you think JD5 translates to the NFL?

I think he can be a very good NFL QB if his frame doesn’t get him killed.

He lets too many guys hit him.

In the right system, pro bowler. His weight will always be a concern, but he’s got everything you want

He’s better than Lamar was. The only thing maybe holding him back will be his size, but he’s got time to bulk up a bit.

I think he will be okay. Depends on what offense it goes to.

However he needs to to slide more after he runs or he's just going to get lit up by the bigger stronger defensive guys.

Few running quarterbacks make it very long in the NFL. Defense is bigger, stronger and faster. Ask Cam Newton

His career won’t be very long if he doesn’t learn to avoid hits

JD5 is famous for saying he doesn’t slide, well he better learn or he’s going to get snapped in half in the nfl

How about shitty college QB’s who were drafted in the top 10? Anthony Richardson - never understood how a guy who generally was a liability in college became the greatest prospect in the draft supposedly.

He's improved significantly as a passer. He probably still needs some refinement in his ability to make pre-snap reads, but he could be really good if he can avoid taking too many unnecessary hits.

Think he will not be a good pro. Real skinny, poor deep ball thrower

He has speed, an arm, and a willingness to learn which leads to progression. Yes I think it will translate. Additionally he seems very calm under pressure. Lots of parallels between him and Burrow.

QB is so dependent on fit. If he goes to a decent organization with a good OC and some good WRs and offensive line that can allow him to sit for a year then he will be great. If he goes to the NY Giants or Chicago Bears it'll be tough

He's a perfect fit for the NFL as it is today.

Ill be shocked if he makes it past the first 10 picks.

He will be a day 1 starter and be just as good as Burrow.

JD’s value is only getting higher. Josh Dobbs is killing New Orleans today and a lot is due to his legs. Vikings coach knows those plays don’t happen if Cousins is in the game. Mobility in the NFL is starting to matter more than ever.

I felt he was better than cj Stroud , and Stroud is doing well. With the right team Jayden can be successful.

I think a lot of it depends on which team drafts him, who’s coaching & whether the situation is set up to help him succeed.

This is going to be a really interesting thing to watch. I think the nfl continues to evolve just like college football has.

If he can bulk up about 20-30 lbs, he's gonna be an issue in the league.
