| G.J. Kinne Scouting Report |
| G.J. Kinne - Tulsa (HT: 6-2 - WT: 215) |
Positives -- Has a good but not great arm, can make most of the throws... Good short to intermediate accuracy... Has a very quick throwing motion, really gets the ball out in a hurry and doesn't give defenders much time to
react to his throws... Good scrambling ability outside of the pocket, is very athletic, and can pick up the first down... Solid bulk and frame, has the ability to withstand the pounding of the NFL... Was a true dual threat quarterback at Tulsa with the ability to make plays with his arm and legs... Extremely mature, dealt with the death of his father at a young age and has developed into a leader both on and off of the field... Experienced starter, started 38 consecutive games for the Golden Hurricane... Originally committed to Texas out of high school over offers from Florida and Oklahoma, among others.
Negatives -- Considering his height and learning curve, he doesn't possess the other qualities (arm strength, accuracy) to stand out above other prospects... Deep accuracy is questionable, has trouble throwing down the field... Production tailed off a bit as a senior, his yards and touchdown numbers fell, though his efficiency did marginally improve... Considering the offense he played in, completing roughly 60 percent of his passes for his career doesn't look all that impressive... Struggled against top level competitions, threw for a combined four touchdowns, seven interceptions against Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Boise State, and Houston as a senior... When on the run, he too often takes off to run rather than keeping his eyes down field for bigger opportunities... Rather short, does not have the ideal measurables of an NFL signal caller... Transferred from Texas after he realized he wasn't going to get playing time behind Colt McCoy, will turn 24 during his rookie season... Tulsa quarterbacks haven't translated well to the NFL, his predecessor Paul Smith had similar credentials coming out of college but is now out of the NFL... Played in a spread offense that helped disguise most of his flaws.
