Seneca Wallace

Weight: 196

Position: QB

College: Iowa State

Drafted: Pick 13 of the 4th round by Seattle
Analysis
Positives: Fine athlete, known for his creativity...Shows quick feet to set up in his pass drops and can put good zip on his tosses when he sets himself properly...Very fluid on the move and can drop it in and put good touch on his throws...Knows when to take some velocity off his passes and makes soft, accurate soft tosses...Never panics in the pocket, showing poise and willingness to sacrifice himself rather than force the ball into traffic...Not vocal, but is a take-charge type in the huddle...Can buy himself some time and avoid sacks with his movement stepping out of the pocket...Excellent open field runner with the speed, burst and body control to elude in the second level...Natural athlete whose speed enables him to get out of the pocket and make big plays with his feet...Despite not setting his feet properly before throwing on the move, he still displays accuracy...Has the balance to make lateral jump cuts.
Negatives: Inconsistent in his windup and delivery and his inability to read underneath coverage results in getting a lot of his passes tipped or intercepted...Spends too much time eyeballing his primary target...Needs to refine his mechanics, as he tends to throw off balance and does not properly set his feet, which negates the arc he puts on his long tosses...Struggles when he tries to air the pigskin out, as his balls tend to flutter (much more accurate in the short-to-intermediate area)...Highly competitive type, but needs to learn when to throw the ball away to avoid the sack... Forces throws into coverage, especially when going long...Good quickness may be better suited for halfback, as he is not a classic pocket passer, appearing more comfortable on play action and rollouts...Needs to show more emotion, at times, as he seems too even keeled to spark his team- mates in the huddle...Understands the play book, but his very low Wonderlic score (10 of a possible 47 answers) is a big concern...Needs to secure the ball better before running, as he has had a high amount of fumbles the last two years.
Career Notes
The unquestioned leader of the Cyclones, he took a different course during his college career... Was originally recruited as a defensive back by Oregon State, but left that school when his mom became ill, enrolling close to home at Sacramento City Junior College...Joined the ISU program in 2001 and was named the Big Twelve's Newcomer of the Year...In just two seasons at Iowa State, he completed 411 of 712 passes (57.7%) for 5289 yards, 26 touchdowns and 27 interceptions, adding 912 yards and 15 scores on 237 carries (3.8 avg) in 25 games...Only Alex Espinoza (5307, 1984-86) gained more yards passing in school history...His 6201 yards in total offense shattered Espinoza's previous all-time school mark of 5018 yards.
