Memphis· 6'7"· 244 lb· 4.86s 40
Spread RPO, with vertical shot plays off of play-action and simple half-field reads, requiring good deep ball accuracy and mobility.
Lynch could develop into a starting quarterback within a season, offering a high ceiling if he masters NFL defenses.
A complex West Coast timing offense, where he would be asked to anticipate throws with multiple reads and quick decision-making under pressure.
A raw but physically gifted quarterback, Lynch needs development to refine his mechanics, processing speed, and consistency for NFL success.
Selected #26 overall in Round 1 of the 2016 NFL Draft by Denver Broncos out of Memphis.
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.
