Three-year starter. Plays in a pro style offense that features shotgun, drop back, play action, and roll out type passes and protections. Uses his eyes and pump fakes to move the safeties. Improved decision making and interception-to-pass ratio dramatically in 2010. Has a tall angular build with movement skills to extend a play. Good touch over the linebackers. Good week of practice at the Senior Bowl. Kept his eyes down the field. Demonstrated a sixth sense in the pocket. Good feel and awareness. Poised. Can avoid pressure by sliding in the pocket. Compact, overhand delivery keeps the ball high. Accuracy is a bit off at times, especially on deep passes. Good field vision. Steps up into the pocket. Athletic in his play. Has above average arm strength and leadership ability. Can be streaky at times locating his 2nd and 3rd receivers. Will still throw into double coverage and into traffic at times. Good setup quickness on the five and seven step drop passes. Generally keeps receivers on their routes but could improve timing and ball placement.
