Tyrod Taylor Scouting Report
Tyrod Taylor
Tyrod Taylor - Virginia Tech (HT: 6-1 - WT: 210)
Combine 40: N/A - Pro Day 40: N/A - Position Rank: 16 of 20


Positives: Numbers have steadily improved each season he has been at Virginia Tech... Has been much more efficient as a passer this year... Above-average arm strength... Gets good velocity on his throws... Numbers have steadily improved each season he has been at Virginia Tech... Has been much more efficient as a passer this year... Has a good throwing motion, proper over-the-top motion with a good release point... Extremely mobile, runs like a halfback... Has a ton of open field moves and is tough to bring down when he gets to the second level... Developmental prospect who could be a solid backup in a couple years.

Negatives: Struggles throwing an accurate deep ball... Inconsistent passer at the intermediate level... Too much of a runner at this point, doesn't do a good job in his drop steps and looks to tuck and run too early... Hasn't been asked to go through a proper NFL progression, offense is designed for him to make one read... Height will be a concern... Virginia Tech's long line of mobile quarterbacks has not seen much success in the NFL (Michael Vick, Marcus Vick, and Bryan Randall)... Has not lived up to the hype surrounding him coming out of high school, was the number one dual-threat quarterback prospect in the country and the number three quarterback overall according to Rivals.com... May need to be converted to WR in the NFL.
