| Case Keenum Scouting Report |
| Case Keenum - Houston (HT: 6-0⅝ - WT: 208) |
Positives -- Very accurate on his short to intermediate throws, completes a high percentage of his passes and puts his receivers in a position to get yards after the catch... Unbelievable production, set multiple NCAA records over the course of his career at Houston... Has three 5,000 yard passing seasons,
including back to back 5,600+ yard seasons... Does a good job of buying time in the pocket with his feet, isn't fast, but moves well within the pocket... Throws a very catchable ball, very good with his touch throws... Good decision maker who rarely turns the ball over... Only threw five interceptions this year in 603 pass attempts, had 10 games as a senior where he threw at least two touchdowns and no interceptions... True leader of the Houston Cougars offense and commands respect from his teammates.
Negatives -- Below-average arm strength, doesn't have a cannon and lacks zip on his throws... Has an awkward three-quarters throwing motion that will need some tweaking... Overall mechanics with his motion and feet are not very good and will need to be coached up... Is not much of a threat to run with the ball, below-average athleticism... Has a rather weak frame and is far too short to play quarterback at the NFL level... Plays in a spread offense where he operates out of the shotgun almost at all times, has little to no experience working under center... The Houston offense is tailor-made for quarterbacks to succeed, similar to the way Mike Leach's offenses operated at Texas Tech for years... Appears to be a product of the system more than legit NFL prospect... His college offense required him to make one read on most occasions and didn't ask him to go through many progressions... Has some injury concerns, received a sixth year of eligibility after tearing his ACL in 2010... Will be a 24-year-old rookie.
