Tape Analysis (Milroe)

An upper body thrower who has one of the quicker releases in this class.  Rather stiff & rigid from a throwing mechanics standpoint. Footwork from within the pocket is not as consistent as desired from NFL offensive coordinators. However, Milroe has demonstrated the ability at times to make NFL type throws & very difficult ones. A lack of consistency has plagued him. He shows the ability to look down the gun barrel & deliver strikes down the field but then a week later, his film shows a player who is struggling to navigate the pocket while maintaining his internal clock & one who succumbs to pocket chaos. At times while dealing with interior pressure, Milroe seems to lose his way and will become athletically rigid in terms of having the ability to feel the pressure properly & slide accordingly. 

Milroe flashes the ability to play on-time within the quick game & is adept at getting the ball out quickly if he can confidently diagnose things pre-snap. He is much more comfortable throwing against off-man coverage looks, of which he excelled against during his career in Tuscaloosa. Milroe has a rare ability to capitalize on shot plays deep down the field (of which he saw in heavy doses during SEC play) which is a testament to his deep arm talent. Against zone coverage his ability to play on time, manipulate defenders & throw to spots was put to test. Shows initial sense to hold defenders using eye deception but he is gun shy pulling the trigger with anticipation while throwing to spots on the field, often a half tick late with the football. 

Shows the ability to anticipate windows well at times (deep over & in-between linebackers (Vanderbilt 2024). Milroe will short arm throws at times. Slow internal clock issues within checkdown game vs underneath zone coverage. Struggles to intuitively modify release in order to adjust in the face of pressure. Tendency for throwing motion to always look the same, regardless of pace of play being called or in terms of needing to adjust to circumstances presented to him post snap. Struggles to identify hots. Has one of the quicker releases in this class of quarterbacks but release has a tendency to always look the same being overly robotic, often. 

Milroe does not always keep his targets safe by placing the ball on the correct shoulder of the receiver. There are instances of Milroe showing the ability to anticipate windows – is not a prevailing theme throughout his tape however. Will short arm throws. Slow internal clock when forced to speed up his process which can culminate in Milroe not gaining desired depth with his drops & lowering his eyes to the rush. Becomes flustered when defenses force him to play from the pocket while generating interior pressure. Rather than leading targets to spots between the numbers, he elects to take the extra beat to confirm if a window is indeed open which may speak to uncomfortability being a true anticipation passer. 

Projection (Milroe)

Milroe is most likely going to be overdrafted due to a variety of factors at play (surface level comparison to Jalen Hurts, Alabama QB’s of recent, his quick release & pure physical athleticism. Underneath all of this is a player who struggles with many of the important characteristics of the position. Could he develop in time? Yes, of course. Will that happen? No. Why? Because, the small yet critical details of seeing the game well, footwork from the pocket, internal clock, anticipation, touch, mechanical efficiency are not there. Milroe should be a Day 3 selection, but we could see a team reaching on him in Round 2. Hopefully, the Steelers don’t panic & select him at pick 21.

Full Games Studied (Shough) – (2024) Jacksonville St, Boston College, Virginia, SMU, Notre Dame, Miami. 

Tape Analysis (Shough)

Shows innate ability to throw with anticipation to all three levels (short, medium, long). A more decisive decision maker early in the down (when he is able to confirm a read or decision pre-snap) the longer Shough plays into the down, the worse he becomes from both a pocket presence & ball placement standpoint as his accuracy has a tendency to wane in these situations. Shows good command of the position (footwork, internal clock & anticipating spots vs specific coverages) Benefited from playing in a Pro-Style NFL offense under HC Jeff Brohm in 2024 which acted as a sort of NFL apprenticeship where Shough was tasked with setting protections, working from under center at times, repping the play action game & a passing game that conceptually resembles NFL offense. (To note- Aiden O’Connell came into the league highly equipped playing under Brohm at Purdue from 2019-2022. Shough remains fundamentally sound executing the play action passing game from under center as he quickly snaps his head around after the fake with quick setup matching quick/clean footwork. Shows the ability to quicken up his delivery based on timing in these situations. Understands how to throw with touch at an above adequate level, across a variety of throws (short, intermediate & deep fade) When throwing the deep ball, Shough is adept at diagnosing coverage indicators pre-snap & able to quicken up his feet & release to give his receivers optimal chance at reception. Shough is comfortable extending plays late into the down. Decision making in these situations has proven to be erratic and average at best. Numerous examples of Shough forcing the football into coverage when running out of real estate late in the play, resulting in interceptions.  Shows enough athleticism to create with his feet via unscripted rushing when a play breaks down. At times, Shough looks like a young Matthew Stafford from a purely stylistic standpoint. Shough does not possess the 99th percentile elite arm talent of Stafford nor decision making prowess. I am speaking solely from a release, mechanical & footwork/playing speed perspective. Intuitive understanding of where weak spots/holes in zone coverage are. Shough takes advantage of this by anticipating windows/throwing his receivers open. He can do this while also being forced off his spot. Pliable release/ability to manipulate his throwing motion on demand. 

Weaknesses

His overall accuracy is considered good but there are many instances of his ball placement not being precise enough across a number of different throws on film. This could end up being something that prevents him from being a franchise quarterback at the next level. Pure arm strength is a mild concern, especially, when Shough is on the move. Throws will lose steam on the back end at times, and could become an issue at the NFL level for him. Concern that his talent has already been “maxed out” at Louisville playing under a passing game centric philosophy under Brohm. 6’5” frame is a cause for trepidation in some league circles…will he be able to adjust his change of direction quickly enough while still being accurate enough playing against the best athletes in the world (with all of the long levers of being roughly 6′ 5” ? Tendency to resort to ¾ release when moving out of pocket (risky).

Projection

Tyler Shough will end up being drafted as early as Round 1 or as late as Round 3. There is a possibility that he is the most ready to step in and play QB prospect from the entire 2025 rookie quarterback class. We believe Shough has enough refined traits as a passer to be given a chance as a starting quarterback in the NFL at some point. System fit will be paramount for him, but he has enough ability to succeed given the right circumstances. He is a guy who does a little bit of everything well while being able to minimize his flaws. How much playing in a quarterback friendly system helped him achieve this may be telling as he makes the transition to the NFL where he is not afforded the luxury of having both Jeff & Brian Brohm at his disposal.

Tape Analysis (Leonard)

An athletically gifted quarterback who plays the position with a good sense of timing & demonstrates NFL level velocity throwing out breaking routes. From a crude athletic standpoint, Leonard combines both explosion & aggression as a runner with a keen sense for getting north/south immediately, almost in a punishing yet nimble way. His ability to generate & maintain momentum throughout four quarters as a runner is rare & in doing so carried his team to wins throughout his college career while playing for both Duke & Notre Dame. As a passer, Leonard operates from a strong base & boasts a quick setup with little wasted motion to go with a semi-smooth & quick over the top delivery. Leonard was tasked with making sound pre-snap decisions on where to go with the ball & was somewhat judicious as a decision maker. His arm is live but his ball placement did not quite measure up across longer durations when precision was needed. 

A beat late, a bit behind or overshooting targets were all themes across his 2024 tape, however in going back to his 2022 tape, his level of comfort in this area was much better. Lack of accuracy obviously was not always the case, but there is a lack of precision from an overall accuracy standpoint. Leonard’s size, leadership ability, athleticism & functional knowledge for playing the position with a good internal clock mixed with just enough arm talent makes him a prime developmental quarterback target as we approach the 2025 NFL Draft. 

Projection (Leonard)

Expect Leonard to be selected in the 5th-6th Round of the 2025 NFL Draft. His skill set will garner this however, from a pure passing standpoint he will be considered a developmental prospect with an above average ceiling. I do not believe he will ever develop into a franchise starting quarterback but if he shows he can continually work to master the finer details of the position he could have a long career as a uniquely positioned NFL backup quarterback.

Full Games Studied (Ewers) (2024) UTSA, Georgia, Arkansas, Michigan, Vanderbilt, Texas A&M (2023) Washington, Rice, Alabama. (2022) Washington

Tape Analysis (Ewers)

Ewers shows the ability to anticipate windows within intermediate zones while operating out of the shotgun on throws to his right & right of center. (easily accessible within his sightline.) Ewers will play the position with low eye level at times resulting in a lack of functional response to pressure (hots, checkdown etc) due to his eyes being fixated lower after receiving the snap resulting in missed opportunities in this area. Sidearm 3/4 throwing motion followed by an aggressive drop of the elbow post-release of the football has proven to be problematic with manipulating the trajectory of his throws at the speed of reaction.This less than ideal mechanism of movement disallows Ewers to easily & readily call upon the use of throwing with consistent, repeatable touch on throws that demand it (fade, wheel).  Although throwing with touch seems to be one of Ewers calling cards he just is unable to rely upon it on a repeatable basis across multiple types of throws.

Ewers is more comfortable throwing the 3-step game with anticipation to his right than he is to his left. Good quick game footwork operating out of the shotgun. Shows ability to quickly get his feet in position to get the ball out on time, something Steve Sarkesian has demanded from his quarterbacks over the years. Seems like Ewers makes it difficult at times for receivers to track his throws underneath. due to his low arm slot on throws. 

Inconsistent touch underneath, example from the Arkansas game where he puts too much muscle on a throw that requires soft touch. Non repeatable accuracy. When plays break down, Ewers shows the ability to improvise at an above adequate level. A push thrower, who lacks NFL starter level arm strength. Numerous examples of deep fades losing steam on the back end resulting in inaccurate incompletions. 

However, Ewers evoked shades of 2003 N.C State Philip Rivers while leading the Longhorns into hostile Bryant Denny Stadium in early September 2023. Ewers’ tool bag was full on a crisp early autumn evening in the deep south. Blending elements such as touch, ball placement & flawless footwork, he was operating in zen like fashion throughout the contest. These moments of quarterback bliss proved to be very inconsistent throughout the duration of his tenure at Texas. While in Austin, he has exhibited traits that will entice NFL teams (ability to handle being the face of a big time program, overall arm aptitude, passing instincts, size) He has not shown the ability to be a consistently accurate thrower of the football while understanding how to deliver a professional level compass of throws. Something he may never master. 

Projection (Ewers) 

Ewers will receive a legitimate NFL opportunity. In what capacity that becomes will be determined by how quickly he can rid himself of bad habits he developed while at UT. He is a “good” prospect to carve himself a backup opportunity early in his career. We just believe that he will never turn into a high level NFL starter due to his inability to be instinctually accurate at a high level coupled with his ¾ arm slot & lack of advanced eye manipulation skill.

Full Games Studied (Dart) (2024) Furman, Arkansas, Oklahoma, LSU, Georgia, Duke (2023) Alabama, Georgia. (2021) Washington State. 

Tape Analysis (Dart)

Operated as the triggerman of Lane Kiffin’s quarterback friendly system which continually worked to allow Dart to take advantage of & exploit optimal coverage looks to put Dart positions to succeed. His tape shows a player who plays from the pocket with good rhythm, timing & at times balance. Clean, natural delivery of the football. In the Ole Miss offense, it seems like there was not a heavy load placed on Dart from a mental perspective. Many shot plays were schemed up as either/or concepts derived to take advantage of optimal off-man coverage or quarters looks. Lots of pick & stick throws where he was determining where to go with the ball pre-snap. Very high functioning when faced with off-man coverage looks, showing the ability to win with arm strength, timing & touch deep. His deep ball touch throwing against man coverage is considered elite coming into the league. 

Operated solely from the shotgun & Dart’s footwork proved to be slower than ideal dropping back to pass. A quick decision maker who plays the game fast from an instinctual IQ standpoint once the ball is snapped. When the look is clean, Dart trusts what he sees & rips it. 

Dart does not consistently respond well to interior defensive line pressure. There are many instances on film where he becomes “stuck” when confronted with immediate, in his face pressure/stunts & freezes while attempting to navigate the pocket, looking like a deer in the headlights. 

Generally adept at manipulating ball trajectory on command. Shows great command anticipating his receivers breaks , letting the ball go with ideal anticipation. Shows the ability to layer balls over undercoverage defenders at the speed of instinct. Dart may possess the most natural arm talent in this class, even dating back to USC film. His ability to spin the football & push the ball downfield is elite. He incorporates semi to advanced eye manipulation tactics to hold deep defenders. Will use his athletic instincts & short area agility/quickness to advance the ball via his legs. Shows a knack for making plays in this regard. 

Projection (Dart)

We believe Jaxson Dart is the 2nd best quarterback in this class entering the NFL behind Shedeur Sanders. Dart has a higher NFL ceiling than Sanders when we take into account the coaching & development he may receive if the Saints either select him at 9 or trade up somehow to secure him. I believe Saints HC Kellen Moore sees Dart as a perfect fit for his offense. The connections run deep between Moore, Scott Linehan, Doug Nussmeier & Dart to bring him to New Orleans. Pro Bowl level ceiling for Dart at the NFL Level.

Tape Analysis (Ward)As a passer, Ward has a natural feel for throwing catchable balls, consistently. Natural feel for spacing on the field (something innate, that you cannot teach.)  Ball placement can become spotty on routine throws due to lazy footwork & not being consistent enough mechanically with his release point & weight distribution before & during his throwing motion. Multiple examples on film of Ward spraying balls behind, low or high due to these bouts of mechanical breakdowns which happened at every level (short, intermediate, long).  Ward has a tendency to bounce around in the pocket which limits his ability to play from a great base. This also has resulted in Ward missing opportunities in the checkdown game that are open immediately on time because Ward’s feet are not allowing him to be ready to capitalize in these split second situations. This I believe, given his talent is correctable at the NFL level once he receives proper coaching, however this has been ingrained in his game at the college level. Shows the ability to absolutely rip the football down the seam/hashes with elite anticipation while placing it exactly where he wants to. 

Can intuitively alter ball speed/trajectory based on coverage/ leverage. His ability to anticipate & complete seam throws is elite. Knows how to create space when extending plays off-script. A natural, smooth athlete with excellent awareness on the field. Lacks explosive qualities from a pure athletic standpoint yet Ward’s feel for space & timing is high end. Advanced in terms of manipulating deep defenders with his eyes & will incorporate full body manipulation in order to maximize window space. His ability to extend plays & buy extra time is perhaps best in class. Ward demonstrates top tier spatial awareness instincts in these situations (reduction, extension & drifting) allowing him to keep a play alive until the last possible second & deliver a throw. This gift can also become a curse for Ward as he relied on doing this too often in 2024. Played in a system at Miami that does not transfer well to the NFL level. Does not drop back to pass with great foot energy/quickness. Shows refined ability to anticipate windows between the hashes, on time. A decisive decision maker who can hurt you running the football due to his high level recognition skills when he determines to take off. Again, just a tremendous feel for playing the position with a high football IQ. One of the best if not the best in class with his ability to layer the football over linebackers on time with anticipation (throwing to spots over, around or in-between defenders) 

Projection (Ward)

Cam Ward is not the best QB prospect in this class. His tools are high level however his college film shows a player who is not disciplined enough to succeed over time at the NFL level. Comparing him to Patrick Mahomes is a fool’s errand. He does not seem to adhere to many of the small details needed to perform at a high level in the National Football League. The Tennessee Titans will select Ward at 1. We will see a fair amount of highs from him as a rookie, but many lows. He will be fighting an uphill battle playing under Brian Callahan.

Tape Analysis (Sanders)

Sanders shows the ability to accelerate the timing of his drop to deliver to an open receiver sooner than scheduled. His sense of when to get the ball out of his hand & understanding of the mechanisms needed to accomplish this as quickly as possible is something he executes at an intuitive level- better than any other quarterback from this class. Also plays with an intuitive feel for throwing around & above defenders with touch along with a deft internal sense for doing so. Operates with optimal shoulder tilt when delivering from a clean pocket. Mechanically refined from his footwork up through his release. 

Will pre-determine throws at times before the snap of the ball.  Pure arm strength down the field is lacking at times. Sanders does throw the most beautiful fade/deep ball (release, anticipation, footwork, timing & touch) in the entire class & put on display consistently during his college career. Some throws will lose steam on the back end (posts) Sanders leans into playing the position with feel, & he has developed a good to great (at times) feel for the game. Arguably, Sanders is from a holistic standpoint,  the most polished passer in the class. Many of the subtle nuances he already performs at the speed of instinct. Diagnosing defenses before the snap, accelerating or slowing down the speed of his drop to acutely mesh with the timing of a given receiver action, throwing his receivers open into space, layering the ball above or in between defenders at the level of acquired instinct does not go unnoticed. 

Characteristics such as anticipation & timing are incorporated into his feel at times during 2024 with Shedeur relying more on anticipation & timing in 2023 & while at Jackson St it seems. His release remains clean roughly 85 % of the time, the other 15% it can become long. Sanders has seen a lot of football so he won’t necessarily be fazed by NFL defenses. More athletic than many scouts think he is with Sanders being able to take advantage through the quarterback run game at an above average level. Really good instincts on when & how to take off. Held onto the ball a tick too long at times from the pocket. Took many hits during the 2024 campaign. 2024 notes – Footwork problems dropping back from the gun, tendency to bounce around and not stay true to consistent three and five step timing. based drops where he is ready to throw (this could be because Sanders felt he needed to play “hero” ball in 2024) His Jackson St. tape shows a more fundamentally sound player. Quick decision maker often. Absolutely fearless when pulling the trigger. Sanders shows the ability to get the football out in a hurry while on the move with a super quick release, natural release throwing to spots on out breaking routes. Nebraska – takes a lot of hits from within pocket & keeps bouncing back up. Shedeur ran a pro-style drop back passing game at CU under OC Pat Shurmur. Anticipates windows well. Sanders shows the ability in droves to speed up his process and isolate quickly. (drop, release) when he is confident with the look he is seeing pre-snap. Truly believes he can make any throw on a football field.  Operates from a wide base, naturally inclined to throw with touch. 2024 tape showed Sanders electing to abort the pocket early when forced to deal with immediate interior pressure even if a route was in process of coming open but would require him to be patient, stay in pocket & deliver ( Baylor Game 2024 – 3:46 left in Q2.) 

Highly effective at finding & locating targets down field when working off script. Effective at manipulating ways to buy time when creating off-script. more confident between hashes within the drop back game. Post snap safety rotation vs NB in red area rolling to cover 2 post snap and had corner route but Sanders elected to move right and missed the read. Post snap safety rotation can confuse him. will drop his eyes to isolate where rush is coming from as opposed to having a predetermined answer based on coverage look. BYU Game – BYU played coverage with active zone underneath. – Will drop his eyes when pressure is perceived by him in conjunction with Sanders mechanics breaking down. Instinct is to freelance too often when many times adhering to strict, methodical fundamentals would suggest underneath options are there vs this umbrella 2 deep coverage. , but only if Sanders is disciplined enough footwork wise & to show a willingness to be methodical and pick you apart on time underneath. 

Projection (Sanders)

After laboring over his tape for two months, Shedeur Sanders is our top ranked quarterback prospect in the 2025 class. His 2024 campaign was marred by a lack of true system fit as Pat Shurmur forced a system on him that looked very simplistic & downright bad at times. Shedeur was tasked with carrying the load, similarly to what Jay Cutler had to deal with during his time at Vanderbilt. We believe he has the potential to become a franchise quarterback for years to come & has the ability to step in & start as a rookie. His NFL ceiling is a Pro Bowl Caliber QB who will need to be the triggerman of a west coast style offense.

Tape Analysis (Miller)

Shades of a young Drew Brees coming out of Purdue. Miller displays an innate ability to layer the football over & in-between undercoverage defenders on-time, operating at the speed of instinct. Things start from the ground up with Miller as he is one of the most technically sound (from a footwork ,rhythm & timing perspective) quarterback prospects that I have ever seen scouted, which dates back to 2016. This adherence to fundamentals continues through his weight distribution & delivery of the football as Miller has the most naturally quick release in all of the 2025 class. Miller makes up for a real lack of arm strength by doing everything else at an elite level coming into the NFL. 

Instinctively manipulates ball trajectory in order to give his receiving targets optimal chance at reception oftentimes hitting underneath crossers, deep overs & arrow routes in stride at the facemask level. His natural accuracy is baked into his game at a muscle memory type level. This speaks to the amount of tireless work he has put into the craft of becoming a great passer. It is evident that Miller has spent many lonely hours working on the small details of his game. Intuitively places the ball away from cornerbacks while throwing back shoulder fades in the red area. Naturally accurate to all three levels of the field. Shows the ability to anticipate zone coverage windows while throwing 12-14 yard in-breakers, releasing the ball before his receiver is even into his break. He also flashes arm talent by way of deep touch. Miller is adept at putting air on the deep ball, dropping into the bucket where only his receiver can catch it. Miller & Shedeur Sanders already do this at an elite level entering the NFL.  Miller is arguably the purest passer coming into the league out of the 2025 class. Learned & developed as a four year starter under QB/passing game guru & former NFL QB Randy Hedberg. As triggerman of the Bison play action game, Miller has shown the ability to come off his initial down field read when covered while being able to reset his feet while simultaneously deciphering & locating his check-down options. In these situations, Miller remains on-time within his own internal clock & still holds mechanical integrity. Instinctively places the ball with ideal placement, hitting his backs in stride at the facemask level. There is a level of concern regarding his lack of arm strength. For Miller to reach his potential of becoming an NFL starter, he must have a coach who builds an offense around his specific skills as a passer. This is a player who you will not just be able to plug into any system & expect him to excel. I believe Miller, if cultivated correctly at the next level, will become a high level NFL starting quarterback. 

Projection (Miller)

Cam Miller will go earlier in the draft than many expect. If the New Orleans Saints are unable to secure either Shedeur Sanders or Jaxson Dart, they could elect to draft Miller in the 2nd or 3rd round. More realistically, Miller ends up going in Rounds 4-5 to a WCO team such as Miami, San Francisco, Denver or New Orleans. Most have him pegged as a UDFA. I do not. Miller will at some point, become an NFL starter.
