3 min readJordan Love, Utah State, Junior, 6’4, 223lbs , QB
Highlights:
Bio:
The California native has played three seasons at Utah State and has shown the physical gifts of being potential first round talent. His junior season at Utah State was lackluster compared to his previous season however, a coaching change can sometimes affect productivity. After a marijuana incident before a bowl game left some red flags about Love however, making an absolute judgment call about this young man would be unfair.
Accolades:
Career Stats 396-652, 5,198 passing yards, 40 touchdowns, 12 INTs, 9 rushing touchdowns
Strengths:
Love has all the physical tools that teams always seem to be salivating over. Love has great mobility and athleticism, which makes him a threat to throw on the run and accurately reach his targets. Love’s high over the top and quick release helps him throw over lines. Love hangs in the pocket and scans the field in order to make throws. Jordan Love has all the arm talent needed to make NFl throws and his ability to place the ball is eye-popping. Expect a team to take Jordan love in the first round as their franchise guy.
Areas to Improve:
Love sometimes does not recognize coverage rotations and he needs to improve his awareness. Love sometimes lets the ball go with reckless abandon or he believes that arm of his too much. If Love continues to sharpen his ability to read coverage and take what the defense gives him he’ll be playing on Sundays for a while.
