I watched this player a few times last year and from the very first time I saw him, somebody came to mind right away:

Possesses good height with average bulk to frame. Top-end speed and mobility are adequate for the position.


Intangibles

Displayed the mental toughness and work ethic to come back for a strong senior season after struggling and being replaced early in career.


Mental Markup

A confident leader and overall competitor. However, he can get overconfident trying to fit the ball into tight windows, which can result interceptions. Needs to develop more of a sense of ball security. Tough and displays ability to hang in the pocket while absorbing hit. Comes from shot gun spread offense and will need development working under center and going through progressions in a pro-style system. Too his credit appears to be a very cerebral and made strides throughout the week during the East/West Shrine All-Star game this past January. Displays a good internal clock and has a natural feel in the pocket. Does a good job of keeping eyes down field when improvising.


Accuracy

Overall accuracy is good but not great. When in rhythm displays good timing and touch. However, footwork can get choppy at the top of his sets which leads to him missing the mark and/or forces receivers to adjust. Shows ability to change trajectories and ball speed when throwing deep crosses or fitting the ball in between safety and corner down the sideline against cover 2 scheme. Accuracy dips when under pressure especially with defender closing in his sight line.


Release

Possesses a ¾ release. Balls come off hand clean and quickly when pulling the trigger. Is going to need development in drops working from under center. Just average height and lower release point makes him susceptible to batted balls at the next level.


Arm Strength

Has the capability to make most NFL throws. Puts good zip on short-to-intermediate passes. Relies on anticipation when throws get farther down the field. Ball can hang in the air too long when throwing deep seam or go routes to the outside. Does not possess elite arm strength to consistently deliver strike when throwing off of back foot.



Mobility

Displays good pocket presence and can slide to avoid rush while creating throwing lanes. Sneaky and can break contain and buy more time when protection breaks down. Shows ability to move the chains with feet but won't break many long runs at the next level.

My guess:

Reminds you of Romo. The player is Mike Kafka.


Somebody give this man the million dollars prize.. I can't afford it right now. :cool:

don't think of where TR is today, but think of where he was when he signed as an undrafted free agent with the Cowboys. The first time I saw Kafka, flashes of a younger, unpolished TR kept popping up in my head. The Auburn game was the clincher, in my mind.
