To the Practice Squad. Former Packer, Falcon and Undrafted Free Agent.





Scouting Report via NFL.com.

Strengths

Decent NFL size with a lively arm
Has ability to drive the ball with good velocity
Has enough arm talent to fit throws into tight windows
Quick plant and gun when seam target comes open
Comfortable attacking outside the numbers
Can fling it 45 yards down the field with a flick of the wrist while rolling right
Confident in his downfield challenges when his receiver gets a step on deep routes
Hurt by excessive drop total by his targets
Climbs the pocket with eyes up the field
Competitive scrambler with quick feet to elude pocket pressure

Weaknesses

Throws with a low release point
Lacks natural accuracy and placement on simple throws
Poor completion rates on intermediate and deep balls
Needs to alter trajectory on some throws
Uncomfortable and inconsistent when throwing in the middle of the field
Tries to drive passes through a clutter of defenders
Needs to value possession of the football
Decision making can be puzzling at best on some turnovers
Failed to complete even 40 percent of his passes when forced to scramble
Gets into staring contests with receivers bringing underneath coverage to the party
Late to recognize blitzes and doesn't have a plan to counter

What's cool is he is active on tik tok and pretty open about playing in the NFL. He was on the verge of playing in the CFL before getting signed by us.

Wait, his name is Kurt, not Kirk. Captain Kurt! Maybe he can be our Kurt Warner.
