Baylor
The high-flying Baylor offense was a 'spread' system focused primarily on a unique style of run-pass option (RPO) and vertical passing concepts designed to generate big plays.
franchise QB capable of winning from the pocket and with his legs; Year 1 starter, immediate impact player in a tailored offensive scheme.
A traditional West Coast offense with complex pass progressions from under center, where his athleticism would be marginalized and his pocket mechanics exposed.
A dynamic dual-threat quarterback with elite athleticism and arm talent, best suited for an RPO-heavy or spread system that maximizes his playmaking ability both as a passer and a runner.
Selected #2 overall in Round 1 of the 2012 NFL Draft by Washington Redskins out of Baylor.
