Frame: Tall and skinny but possess pro height and length features. Still needs to fill out, considerably.

Instincts: Has a good feel for pressure and where defenders are, shows this in the read-option game, along with eluding pressure in and out of the pocket. Has a strong arm, can fire the ball in an instant when under heat.
Polish: Fast release, and a good ability to throw the ball from uncomfortable positions. Showed great poise and toughness under extreme pressure due to a subpar offensive line.
