Jeremiah: "The semifinal game was awesome. He moved around better in the pocket than I had seen him previously. He threw some seeds that game. Just back-foot-missiles where he just hangs on his back foot, and the ball jumps out of his hand. He's outstanding on over the top, kind of those touch throws down the field, deep ball throw is beautiful. He can drive the ball, especially to the perimeter. I thought that the thing that showed up in the championship game, number one, they hit the stuffing out of him. I thought that kind of rattled him a little bit from that standpoint. I didn't think the pocket movement was as good as we saw in the previous game. Then I think the throw that I want to see from him is just that kind of up-and-down throw. Can you get it up and over and get it down, which requires a lot of touch and feel. That's something that's not really his strength. . . From a scouting standpoint, I think you're looking at saying, if you are going to take him, how do we put an offense around him that makes sense and that fits him?. . . I think he goes to a team with a really good run game. I think off of play action in a vertical passing game is probably going to be his best fit."
