Last season, he put up monster numbers, averaging 271 passing yards and 66 rushing yards per game while throwing and. Running for 39 total touchdowns, that production earned him top honors, including the Johnny United's Golden Arm award for the best college QB, first team all SEC and SEC offensive.

At just 5 foot 10, he's tiny for an NFL quarterback, and his arm strength limits deep throws from the pocket. His scrambling comes from grit and quick bursts, not elite speed.

Keep an eye on how Pavia adapts, highs toughness might carve out a role, but the NFL pocket is a different beast altogether.
