02Scheme fit
Ideal system

The Rams operate a pro-style offense featuring power run concepts, play-action passing, and a strong emphasis on protecting the football from turnovers.

Dropback PasserPocket PasserGame Manager
Best role

Initially a valuable clipboard holder and practice arm, Mannion's ceiling is that of a high-end backup who can execute a conservative game plan if pressed into service.

Wrong fit

Spread-option or run-heavy RPO-based offenses that require a mobile quarterback to extend plays or consistently escape pressure.

Mannion's limited mobility and arm strength dictate a role in systems prioritizing timing, accuracy on intermediate throws, and a strong running game.

04The evaluation

Selected #89 overall in Round 3 of the 2015 NFL Draft by St. Louis Rams out of Oregon State.
