Gibran Hamdan

Weight: 239

Position: QB

College: Indiana

Drafted: Pick 18 of the 7th round by Washington
Analysis
Positives: Natural rhythm passer with good size and deceptive quickness...Effective at scanning the field to spot his alternate receivers...Stands in under pressure, maintaining his poise in the pocket...Shows good accuracy on his long throws...Has adequate touch and timing in the short area...Throws a tight spiral and will sometimes thread the needle with his passes...Able to alter his delivery to put added heat behind his tosses, when needed...Holds the ball high and has a very quick over-the-top release.
Negatives: Has accuracy problems throwing on the move...Even though he has the arm to go deep, his receivers generally will have to work hard for the ball on those routes...Will tend to overthrow the ball when pressured and forces passes when escaping from the collapsed pocket...Makes questionable judgement calls at times, as he tends to lose awareness for the oncoming defensive linemen...Has to work on increasing his pass set point, as he tends to spend too much time scanning the field before unleashing the long ball...Lack of foot quickness is a concern.
