You have to take those numbers with a grain of salt. For instance Deshaun Watson threw 49 MPH at the combine but has displayed a live arm in the NFL.
Watching the tape on Finley, you can see his passes tend to float a little when going to the wide side of the field. Not a bad arm, per se but he doesn’t have the same drive those other QBs have (at least Lock and Haskins.)
