Spread RPO passing and run-heavy concepts, utilizing pocket passers who can execute short and intermediate throws with accuracy, occasionally featuring play-action bootlegs.
Year 1 could see him as a rotational starter, with the ceiling of a high-end starter in a system prioritizing efficiency and controlled passing.
A vertical-heavy Air Raid system that demands constant deep ball accuracy and improvisation under duress would minimize his effectiveness.
His athleticism allows for designed runs and extending plays, but he thrives more in a structured system where he can make timely reads from the pocket.
Selected #8 overall in Round 1 of the 2012 NFL Draft by Miami Dolphins out of Texas A&M.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
