| Scouting Report | Potential |
| Has the tools to eventually become one of the most accurate passers in America. Scouts envision his arm strength becoming as good as any QB in college ball. Scrambling ability will never get to the point where it sets him apart. He should develop adequate instincts for a quarterback as the future unfolds. |
