…All of these, I don’t know if they’re really worthy top 10 picks. He breaks a ton of tackles, bounces off people, he has very good quickness and ability to make people miss in the space. He understands how to set up blockers like a running back…there are true running back traits there. He is a gifted runner…he can accelerate pretty good, and he’s got an incredible pair of legs on him. His ability to throw deep balls, balls on the outside that are power throws, they’re effortless. As a thrower, he keeps his body in the right positions, understands how to use the front shoulder…His motion is nice. He can make every throw on the football field with ease. What Simms Said: “It’s a special arm, no question. There’s all those aspects to like about him…But I don’t say, ‘Wow’ about anything with Kenny Pickett physically…I don’t know if I necessarily see any trait that is real, real elite other than the fact that the guy can play quarterback and he is the most polished and ready to go of any quarterback in this draft class.” So, he can make people miss in the pocket that way, but also, he has a great natural feel of where the pocket is…He’s almost always in great position to throw the football, so that’s where he’s really good. He’s a good athlete, he’s twitchy, he can make people miss, there’s good pop in his feet. Incredibly accurate thrower, especially in the intermediate range…Good size, plays pretty big too…Awesome in the pocket. The most NFL-ready from understanding protections to reading the field to processing the information pre-snap, post-snap, going through the reads.

I don’t know what his numbers are, I don’t really care. He’s the fastest quarterback in this group…He’s the most accurate thrower in the draft, too. To me, he’s made for the modern-day NFL…This guy can run. The ball absolutely flies out of Matt Corral’s hand. It’s almost to the point at times where I go, ‘Man, I wish he’d let his arm go a little bit more.’ … It literally looked like he just took it from his ear and just threw it like a dart, that’s how quick and compact the delivery is…The arm strength is phenomenal. There’s nobody with quicker feet, can make people miss, great acceleration, can pop his feet to get back into throwing positions…nobody can do that as quick as Matt Corral…It’s as quick a release as I’ve seen coming out of college football in a few years. He’s the quickest quarterback in the draft.
