I threw on his tape and was impressed, the tape that stood out to me was his Iowa tape and most people think that was a bad game if you just look at stats. He made a majority of his throws on the run, some by design many because his O line was not very good. His ability to break tackles in the pocket is reminiscent of Big Ben. He does have the arm strength to make a hash mark to opposite sideline out route throw. Anyone who knows football knows that is a difficult throw to make because it requires exact timing and plenty of arm talent. Most of his throws were outside the number and past the LOS which are more difficult throws than your standard crosser/slants/screen offenses we see a lot of today in college. He threw an INT on one that was slightly late due to pressure and the CB played it really well. There was a dropped 30 ish yard TD in that game that was an amazing ball down the seam that his WR flat dropped.
The kid looks like a stud to me. The footwork is an issue because his mechanics tend to be hurried. My guess is he will be better in the Pro's with protection, but if he doesn't have protection he will be able to do a little bit of Big Ben as far as surviving would be tacklers.
