02Scheme fit
Ideal system

A dual-threat quarterback with impressive athleticism and arm strength that would excel in a dynamic RPO-heavy or spread offensive scheme.

Field GeneralRPO QBShotgun passer
Best role

As a rookie, Locker can contribute as a situational run-option quarterback before developing into a high-upside starter with the potential to elevate surrounding talent.

Wrong fit

Locker would be a poor fit in a traditional pro-style offense that relies heavily on complex reads from under center and is slow to adapt to his athletic skillset.

Locker's athleticism and arm talent make him an intriguing prospect for a modern offensive system, but his inconsistencies with accuracy and decision-making pose a significant risk.

04The evaluation

Selected #8 overall in Round 1 of the 2011 NFL Draft by Tennessee Titans out of Washington.
