GARRETT GRAYSON
Colorado State, Quarterback
Age: 23
Height: 6' 2 1/2"
Weight: 213 pounds
Hands: 10"
Arms: 30"
Wing Span: 75 1/4"
Bench Press Reps: N/A
40-time: N/A (right hamstring)
Vertical Jump: N/A (right hamstring)
Broad Jump: N/A (right hamstring)
Positives: Good field vision, spreading the ball around confidently to keep the offense in forward motion. Feels pressure and has the sudden body movements to evade blitz, reset feet and deliver the ball. Also has natural ability to throw on the move. Sidesteps the rush, climbs the pocket and delivers. Big hands. Can wing the football and brings above-average deep accuracy. Knows when to throw with touch.
Negatives: Does not possess ideal size to be a starting quarterback in the National Football League. Will be making a significant jump to the next level coming from the FBS Mountain West Conference. Does not have a big-time NFL arm. Sluggish overall movement in the pocket may affect Grayson’s transition.
NFL comparison: Kirk Cousins (Washington QB)
