Is he a dual or a pocket passer? ESPN says PP but 247 says he's a DT

I don't even know how to express how irrelevant the label some college age computer programmer gives our QB could possibly be.

The Rant has an absolute obsession over it.

There haven't been many QB prospects that have come in that I have actually been excited to see. This is one of them.

He runs a 4.8+ forty...not a dual threat IMO. Will run when he needs to, but he's not the next Cam Newton. More like Mett with much better mobility and natural athleticism.

so really more like JR without the super laser arm?

and matt mauck and matt flynn were both in the 4.8 or slower range (like JR)

He can move a bit, but he's not a cam newton type runner

He compares athletically to Jameis Winston. He can make a play with his legs if he needs, but his arm is where he's really dangerous c

He still throws heat and outside of some lowly ranked kid I don't know about that probably has a railgun attached to his shoulder, he has the strongest arm in this class and possibly the last 2 classes.

That's the same thing I've said. He's a similar player to Winston but not immature off the field. There is a possibility of him becoming faster in a speed training and muscle building program, but we'll see.

I'm just glad he's being put into the PP category. I know it doesn't matter, but I've seen numbers of our fans talking about why we don't get a qb who plays under center. Well, FF has taken many snaps under center!
