Peter King says Browns and Skins discuss pick swap

[SBXVII]

Here's what ProFootballWeekly had to say:

Positives: Very good foot quickness to slide in the pocket, avoid the rush and create some plays with his feet. Looks natural moving backward from under center. Does a very good job balancing his feet and throwing on the run. Can work through progressions and anticipates well where receivers will be. Played in a pro-style offense and has natural passing instincts. Has risen to the occasion vs. better competition (see Ohio State, Penn State) and performed well in the clutch. Has shown he can handle pressure. Has good arm strength to make all the throws. Good accuracy and ball placement. Plays with poise and understands the game. Fine decision maker. Shows maturity beyond his experience. Works hard, is well-respected and knows how to win a huddle.

Negatives: Only a one-year starter. Not an overly impressive physical specimen and has a somewhat dumpy-looking body. Too often sprays the deep ball. Had an exceptional supporting cast with a talented offensive line that often provided a clean pocket and talented receivers who often were surrounded by nothing but grass. Showed he could be rattled by pressure in a loss to Oregon State. Too many balls come out with a loose wobble. Has been dinged up throughout his career and does not have a strong build to withstand contact.

Summary: Does not enter the NFL with desirable experience and durability, and his character will require further examination based on a spotted history, but he has the foot quickness, agility, arm strength and intangibles to develop into a solid NFL starter.


Funny they say he does not have great physical size, but he is like 6-2, 227lbs.
