His footwork will need some development since he takes most of his snaps from the shotgun, and even then he has a tendency to get sloppy when throwing underneath. Is late with some throws down the field and lacks the arm strength to fit balls into tight spots. As a result, his passes have a tendency to drift or flutter on him when he tries to overthrow the football.

Impression: An athletic quarterback who is very accurate and decisive in the short/intermediate passing game. Looks like a west coast QB at the next level.

Jordan Shipley: No. 8, WR, 6-0, 190

A shifty receiver who possesses some quickness after the catch and can make a play in space. Lines up predominantly in the slot and has a nice feel working the middle of the field. Plucks the ball well away from his frame and has the hand-eye coordination to adjust to an errant pass. A savvy receiver in the pass game who does a great job working back toward the quarterback and finding soft spots underneath.

Jordan Shipley
