| Scouting Report | Potential |
| Average accuracy as a passer. That part of his game won't ever be anything special. Touch passing won't ever be a part of the game that will make him famous. Arm strength should develop nicely and be above average for a college quarterback. He won't ever have the instincts of a top notch college QB. |
