Most important, makes good reads from right to left, quick release, and touch. He's not just a WR in a QB's body who played pitcher in HS.

Well you don't want to see that actually. You want to see acceleration and than deceleration.
Agree acceleration of speed is as important as speed it self, but he ran a 4.56 so his acceleration is solid. Thought his stance was funky. I wouldn't say deceleration is that important for QB tho

Kap threw a decent deep ball, this kid doesn't. His accuracy struggles big time on intermediate / deep routes.

You mean those deep balls with no arc? He wasn't great at the 9 route but he was money on the deep seam types of routes and the drags that required lasers.

Kap had no touch on his ball. All his deep balls were flat.

Why did he get drafted so late? He is more polished than Kap when Kap got drafted.

Because he sucked in the SEC.
Florida hasn't exactly been QB university (Grossman, Timmy).

I get that, but Kap came from a lesser conference also.

That's true, but Kaepernick was a better college QB than Driskel was. By far.
That said, Driskel's easily the better fit in a pro' offense. Hope they don't play him as a rook so as to ruin him though.

Great. He's just going to check it down and rely on the defense to score points

Roll out to the right and throw it out of bounds.
