Summary

After being granted an extra year of eligibility in 1997, he posted huge stats. Missed most of '96 season with fractured ankle...comes from a run and shoot type offense, throws the ball on almost every down, has decent size and mobility, good arm strength and can throw a variety of passes, good mobility, can move around pretty well in the pocket, does not have great throwing mechanics. Needs some work on fundamentals, but excellent work ethic and passing background gives him a chance to develop as an NFL backup.
