2011:

• Stepped up to replace Jerrod Johnson in 2010. Former WR.
• When things break down in front of him, he has the athleticism to take off and create plays with his feet.
• Needs to improve reading defenses, quite a bit actually, due to his lack of full-time at the QB position.
• Footwork is good, but still has quite a ways to go.
• Stands tall/fearless in the pocket, sometimes taking hits.
• I like his pocket awareness.
• Effortless throwing motion.
• Holds ball high up against chest before rearing back to throw.
• Short and medium accuracy are very good, long accuracy inconsistent.
• Must not stare down receivers, but at times he’s shown he scans the field well.
• Has the arm strength to get the ball downfield to stretch defenses.
• Needs to work on sideline touch passes.
• A&M likes to use him on rollouts and his accuracy is pretty good while on the run.
• Pretty good decision maker, but still could improve a lot having only limited time at quarterback so far in school.
• Good throwing mechanics, won’t need to worry about reconstructing that at all.

Projected round (as of 8/29/2011): 2nd round
