I'm sure he'll get a little better, but I've seen this from him even before the injuries. He can pressure the ball well, but that's about it.

With that said, its going to be a lot of fun this June watching that draft - at least we have that.

Once he figures this pro PG game out, which I think he will, he will slowly begin to bring together the many aspects of his game, which he is ignoring right now, to try and fit the mold.
