If the arm fits the scheme, especially aggressive down-field playbooks, then the chances of gaining solid fantasy production are high.
A late career Peyton Manning in a Bruce Arians type passing offense would not have produced the all-world numbers Manning experienced in On the flip-side, Carson Palmer, whose vision and style was geared beyond the yard range, could not produce close to the record numbers of Manning back in his Denver frenetic, timing based short game.
Again, understanding the true arm quality of a quarterback and the velocity a passer can muster help fanballers make sharp, educated choices at the QB position come draft day or game day. At the NFL Combine QBs were "gunned" for velocity throwing for speed and to both sides of the field, left and right. Overall, the MPHs of are nothing less than previous recorded speeds, and a couple of the passing prospects impress.
Many view the crop of QBs as an underwhelming lot, and the disappointing ball velocity numbers turned in by some Dwayne Haskins? On tape, most of these pro QB prospects show plenty of arm and zip. Deshaun Watson's 49 MPH would be among the lowest velocity efforts recorded since Blake Sims owns that dubious mark at Ohio State's Dwayne Haskins shows he can drive the football far above his "official" 52 MPH, able to make all the pro throws required.
Missouri QB Drew Lock isn't a power passer, but his MPH just doesn't match the eye test in his game cut-ups, which shows him to possess more pop on his passes. He isn't polished or on-time with his passes, but he's got a power-arm.
For , football fans and fantasy football talent diggers would be wise to consider the QB velocity results from the Combine with a touch of skepticism but a heavy dose of perspective. This isn't what those prospects are coached to do at the Combine, but human nature takes over and "completions" become a distraction. In their efforts to be more accurate, there is the tendency to dial down the velocity some, hence lower MPH readings. The pass-challenged QB clearly was focused on putting the ball in the right place, rather than display juice.
This is where true arm-talent separates att eh Combine, and to some degree, Pro-Day workouts. When a pro-aspiring QB is cutting it loose at the Combine or Pro-Days , hitting his marks, on time, and firing off impressive MPHs as well, then we probably are looking at a top-flight NFL passer in the making. For , this may not be the most polished group of collegiate throwers entering the draft, but there's more arm talent here than popular "expert" opinion suggests.
Kyler Murray doesn't have an MPH listed, but he passes the eye-test with flying colors. West Virginia's Will Grier lit up the "gun" with a 59, and is accurate as well as mobile. Brett Rypien cut loose with a 59 of his own and looked good doing it. At the Combine in Indianapolis there were some surprises, good and bad, and some interesting revelations as well.
Oregon State's Jake Luton tied Eason at 59, but to the eye his ball did not seem to have the same zip as Eason's in drills. Montez looked the part in passing drills as well; Davidson not as much. Herbert however threw the ball 55 MPH, which may be a bit of a disappointment for some. A caution flag best be waved regarding Herbert; he's sharp as heck in a clean setting but once he gets his feet moving things break down.
Utah State's Jordan Love drew much praise and attention while displaying a live arm even though he measured a modest 54 on the radar gun. Love's velocity is greatly enhanced by great footwork, form and leg-drive. To put that in perspective, Mahomes said last year that he could throw the ball 80 yards if he has the wind behind him.
Most NFL quarterbacks can throw the ball yards in a practice situation. The longest throw I could find in a game situation over the past 10 years came from Aaron Rodgers. As for Allen, his stock is all over the place.
In our latest mock drafts here at CBSSports. You can check out each one of those mock drafts by clicking here. By John Breech. Mar 2, at pm ET 2 min read. During the interview, Flaherty was asked if he's ever seen a "better arm. TNF: Dolphins vs. Here are his career achievements so far:.
But it still felt less like a loss and more like the beginning of something big. If Mahomes could put up such epic numbers in his first season, what could he do with a little more experience under his belt? Prior to an injury this season , Mahomes had the Chiefs on a solid path to being contenders yet again.
Right back at it! In fact, when Mahomes played in high school, he reportedly thought of playing baseball professionally for a spell:.
