2011:

Analysis:

• Does really well reading defenses for a college quarterback.
• Good field vision.
• Has great touch on his throws.
• Shows very good accuracy on his passes.
• Good decision maker overall, but that’s not to say that he didn’t make mistakes in 2010.
• Has the athleticism to pull down the ball and run with it.
• Has good arm strength and is capable of making every NFL throw.
• Runs a pro-style offense at Stanford, so adjusting to an NFL system won’t be an issue.
• No character concerns and is a very hard worker.
• Has got “all the intangibles” looked for in an NFL quarterback.
• Very smart in classroom (valedictorian in high school, will get Architectural Design degree after this season).
• Doesn’t have the quickest arm motion (little bit of a wind-up), but it’s still very much adequate for a great prospect.
• Shows some good toughness.
• Sometimes he runs too far backwards when the rush closes in on him and that could create some negative plays in the NFL.
• I’d like to see him throw the ball away more. In some of those cases, however, positive plays are created from potentially negative ones.

Projected round (as of 8/28/2011): Number 1 overall prospect for 2012 draft
