Height: 6-5

Weight: 232

Position: QB

College: Southern California

Drafted: Pick 1 of the 1st round by Cincinnati
Analysis
Positives: Has smooth muscle tone with good upper and lower body development... Displays proper upper body mechanics in his set up...Has a snappy, quick release and the arm strength to get the ball deep...Shows a good, soft touch and the ability to sense pressure in the pocket...Elusive enough to scramble away from defenders to buy more time...Very comfortable in the short-to-medium range passing attack, putting good zip behind his tosses...Really came into his own as a senior, showing the leadership and poise that was missing in the past...Has ideal size, big hands and very good running speed...Shows good pinpoint accuracy and now shows the ability to spot his secondary targets.
Negatives: Lacks a quick arm, as the ball does not explode out of his hands...Does not take command of the huddle the way he should...Plays well in spurts, but until the second half of 2002, he did not show consistency...Can be rattled under pressure...Very streaky thrower who makes poor decisions when he is off his game, eyeing his primary targets too long...Needs to do a better job of reading and reacting to the pass rush...Will spray the ball at times on his long tosses.
