Good stature and mechanics. Quick release. Strong arm and can push the ball downfield. Winning record.
Negatives: Faced lower level of competition, without a lot of complex defensive schemes. Adequate, but not great physical size, stature or arm strength.
Summary: Major small-college sleeper with pro tools, a track record of production and winning pedigree.
