Jerod Evans Write up from a Scout

This is coming from a scout that posts on my NFL teams forum which everyone over there highly regards.

8 - Jerod Evans - Virginia Tech - 6'3/232: 71

Summary: Fourth year junior entry. Began his career at Air Force where he tore his ACL in 2013 before transferring to a junior college. Spent one season at Virginia Tech and proved to be one of the top dual threats in the country. Evans is physically gifted with his powerful arm and running ability. He is a ways away from being a professional passer, however. He has a long road ahead but his intangibles and talent can be combined in to a quality backup one day. Higher ceiling than most.

*I really wish this kid went back to school for another year, as I do see some big time traits here. Such an easy, powerful, quick release that you simply can't teach. Has nice touch on the ball. Big and sturdy frame. Hard worker, very humble. But his learning curve will be as steep as any of the QBs in this class. Huge gamble but huge potential reward.

Upside Pro Comparison: Chad Henne - MIA

Love hearing about his quick release, as Fuente always discusses that when he speaks about QB play. Also, reiterates how I felt about him leaving early (Which is just my opinion), he could have benefited from having 1 more year of tape and tutelage at the NCAA level. And as we all knew, Evans is going to be much more of a project in the NFL.

Pro Comparison: Chad Henne--- YIKES!
