Rohan Davey Position: Quarterback
Career Notes | Agility | High School | Personal | Stats
ANALYSIS
Positives: Improving passer known for his quickness and scrambling ability … Accurate in the short-range passing attack … Throws a catchable ball, showing solid mechanics and a quick, over-the-top release … Does a great job avoiding tacklers when rolling out of the pocket … Exciting player who makes things happen with his style of play … Strong, physical runner who has proved capable of buying time for his receivers with his scrambling ability … Effective throwing on the move and shows accuracy when going long … Sets up smoothly and shows good zip and velocity off both the front and back foot … His passes display nice touch and placement … Poised in the face of pressure, showing good pocket presence and mobility to step up or out as he absorbs hits and breaks tackles.
Negatives: Has a history of injury problems, brought upon by his insistence of taking the sack, rather than throwing the ball away … Runs with authority, but needs to secure the ball better before turning upfield … While he shows accuracy on his deep balls, he will force the ball into traffic and makes the receivers work by coming back for the ball too often … Needs more experience and a patient tutor … His weight problems have affected his conditioning in the past … Looks heavy-footed at times … Needs to fine tune his reads and must work on lowering his delivery … Has good touch on his tosses, but lofts it too high at times … Can step out of the pocket, but is generally dragged down due to his lack of burst.
