Aaron Corp Scouting Report |
Aaron Corp - Richmond (HT: 6-3⅝ - WT: 215) |
Positives -- A great athlete, ran a 4.72-40 at the combine and a 4.65-40 at the Richmond pro day... Has the ability to take off and run with the football, a good scrambler outside of the pocket... Uses good footwork, does a good job
in his drop steps and has solid overall mechanics... Good height; a natural thrower with no hitches in his motion, has a quick and fluid release... Has experience working under center... A hard worker, his broken leg was very serious and he worked very hard to get his strength back and appears to have his athleticism back... Stayed healthy during his senior season... He did beat out Matt Barkley, a sure-fire top ten pick for the 2013 NFL Draft, prior to the 2009 season at Southern Cal... A post-season riser who has done well with his pre-draft work outs.
Negatives -- Below-average arm strength, struggles to drive the ball down field... Didn't exactly light up FCS competition, threw for 20 touchdowns and 17 interceptions in 16 games over the past two years at Richmond... Struggles with his ball placement, doesn't have the accuracy to throw guys open and will miss throws he shouldn't... Threw too many interceptions, forces some throws... When pressured he loses his footwork, seems to panic... Had some really bad games, threw for one touchdown and four interceptions against UMass and one touchdown, three interceptions against Delaware... Although he's put on some weight, still a little on the thin side and has major injury questions... Suffered a season-ending knee injury during the fifth game of the 2010 season and cracked his left fibula in 2009 fall camp while at USC... Spent the past two years playing against FCS defenses, will need time to adjust to the pro game, should sit on the bench his first few years.

At Richmond -- (Official School Bio) 2010: Started Richmond's first five games before suffering a season-ending knee injury on the first series at New Hampshire (October 9)... Completed 67 passes for 645 yards and three touchdowns in the four full games before his injury... Showed his mobility in and out of the pocket by rushing 19 times for 87 yards... Opened his Richmond career with 183 yards on 18-for-32 passing at Virginia... In the Spiders' home-opener versus Elon, Corp was 19-for-32 passing for 207 yards and a TD... His five-yard TD pass to Kevin Grayson versus Elon tied the game at 7-7 and was Richmond's first-ever score at Robins Stadium... In the Coastal Carolina win, Corp connected with WR Ben Edwards for a 47-yard TD pass as the Spiders' opened up a 27-6 lead in the second quarter en route to a 41-19 win. At USC -- Corp, USC's most mobile quarterback, emerged as the starter as a sophomore in 2009 following a consistent, productive showing in 2009 spring practice. But he cracked the top of his left fibula in 2009 fall camp, which allowed Matt Barkley to win the starting job. Corp then served as a backup the rest of the season, although he started at Washington when Barkley was injured. Overall in 2009 while appearing in 3 games (San Jose State, Washington, Washington State), he was 17-of-26 (65.4%) for 155 yards with 1 TD and 1 interception. He came off the bench to complete all 4 of his passes for 45 yards with a TD (13 yards) against San Jose State. He completed 13-of-22 passes for 110 yards with an interception at Washington in his first career start. He played the final 2 series against Washington State, but did not throw a pass.
