Scouting Report:

Has a very strong arm.  He has good pocket presence.  Not known to be a very mobile quarterback, although he is a good athlete and moves well in the pocket.    He has very good touch on the long ball, but is prone to throwing interceptions on intermediate timing routes.  Familiarity with his receivers will help keep interceptions to a minimum.
