| Robert Griffin Scouting Report |
| Robert Griffin - Baylor (HT: 6-2⅜ - WT: 223) |
Positives -- Has a very strong arm, can make every NFL throw... Throws a tremendous deep ball, very accurate and gets good loft... Puts his receivers in a position to get yards after the catch, does a good job of putting the ball on the numbers... Throws well on the run... Solid throwing mechanics, has a
quick release... Off the chart intangibles, already working on his master's degree... Very well spoken and intelligent... Makes good decisions on the field, rarely forces throws... Threw an interception once every 70 pass attempts for his career at Baylor... Stays composed in high pressure situations, led a game-winning touchdown drive in under a minute against Oklahoma... Great athletic ability, is the most athletic quarterback in this class... Good runner in the open field, has enough speed to outrun defenders to the corner when flushed out of the pocket... Lit up the combine in the athletic drills, ran a 4.41-40, the fastest quarterback since Michael Vick in 2001, and had a 39" vertical, best at the position... Has adequate size for an NFL quarterback and has enough bulk to take some hits... Great production, threw for 37 touchdowns this year... Completion percentage has increased every season... Won the 2011 Heisman Trophy.
Negatives -- Throws off his back foot at times and will have throws sail on him... Footwork can get sloppy... Played mostly out of the shotgun and will have to learn how to work under center, hasn't had much experience with drop steps... Will hold onto the football too long and take some bad sacks... Most of his college reads were from the spread offense where he didn't have to go through a natural progression... Quarterback play typically drives a win/loss record, but Baylor is only 23-18 with him as a starter (10-3 in 2011)... Doesn't make many adjustments at the line of scrimmage or make many pre-snap reads to take advantage of defensive assignments... Carries the ball away from his body when he's scrambling, doesn't tuck and run... Has adequate size, but isn't prototypical... His running style combined with his frame may make him prone to injury (see: Michael Vick)... Already has an injury history, missed most of the 2009 season (was granted a medical redshirt) after suffering a torn ACL in the third game of the season.
