Have to see if he'll take 38m/yr, 150m signing bonus. Price is only going up from here.

On his highlights after 2018 it certainly seemed to be lacking something, but from the clip of his training in February there seems to be a bit more zip in his throws:



Looks like mechanics issue. His throwing motion is poor. Maybe some good coaching can help him out, but sometimes unlearning can be difficult.

All I’ve seen is highlights which tells you nothing about his ability
I don’t know how fast his ball travels but he has good touch on his deep passes and he can throw it down the field
I seen a few deep shots and he had great touch and height on his throws deep that allowed receiver to run under them
I’d never seen him before he was picked but he’s mobile and has plenty enough arm strength
The real question as with most QB’s is can he read fast and make quick decisions and you can’t tell that from highlights
I’m excited to see what he has in camp

Even better.. Chad Hutchinson!

Worst accuracy I have ever seen in my life. Son and I went to training camp when he was there. We watched him throw into the nets with the pouches and out of 10 throws, 2 went over the top of the net and landed in the stands. He was god awful. Sure looking like Troy though.

This video does not lie. This kid's arm is amazing. Dak, don't get hurt because this kid can take your job.

i tried to find the ball velocity for denucci, but could not. however got this from Densa in a comment on BTB:

"Norm Hitzges, a DFW sports radio host said that all of the QB’s in this draft threw the ball between 54-56 MPH except DeNucci. Norm said DeNuccie threw it at 59 MPH."

Interesting. The little tape I saw on him had him throwing a number of very soft balls. Glad arm strength isn't an issue.

My problem with Nooch is waiting so long to enter the draft. If he would have entered last year Zeke wouldn’t have held out.
