Scouting report: Matthew Stafford
Matthew Stafford
6'3, 237 pounds | Georgia | Quarterback
Strengths:Stafford possesses an NFL arm able to make any throw needed. Incredibly strong arm. He has a quick, compact delivery. Has good footwork. Good pocket poise, stepping into the pocket as pressure come from the blind side. Has just enough mobility to avoid pressure or make something happen outside of the pocket. Already adept at reading a defense and finding weaknesses. Doesn't put his receivers at risk over the middle with high passes. Vocal leader.
Weaknesses: Really needs to put a better touch on some of his shorter passes instead of throwing hard every time. Too often throws passes up for grabs into multiple coverage. Didn't dominate as much as he maybe should have. Never really won a big game at Georgia. Had some maturity questions early in his career.
Final word: Physically, Stafford has everything a team would want in a quarterback. He has good size and an incredible arm. He has the strength to make any throw on the field and can read defenses. Didn't have the best offensive line or wide receivers around him. Improved his yards thrown, completion percentage and touchdowns every year. Still, though, Stafford has a little bit to go in regard to his decision making. With proper coaching, he could start as a rookie.
