Strengths and Weaknesses of the top QB’s in the Class of 2018

Lamar Jackson

Strengths

Elite athlete. He ran for more yards than Saquon Barkley, seriously… Possess good arm strength and ability to throw on the run. Throws with accuracy on his deep balls. Played very well against top competition.

Weaknesses

Has poor footwork that has lead to bad accuracy in his intermediate passing game. Has good size at 6’3 but is thin and will not be able to absorb hits in the NFL the way he did in college. Dual-threat QBs find that relying on the run game will get you out of the NFL in a hurry. Struggles with timing and locks onto his receivers. Needs time to develop into a pocket passer.
