#18-JONATHAN BEASLEY Kansas State University Wildcats 6:00.1-217

ANALYSIS
Positives... Outstanding scrambler who is strong in the pocket and very difficult to bring down... Has the body control to pass while rolling out of the pocket and shows fine quickness driving away from the center...Has a fluid wrist delivery and throws the short passes with touch...Lays the ball up nicely on deep tosses so that the receivers do not have to alter their routes...Drills the ball in a seam and scans the field to quickly spot his alternate receivers...Can free pass rushers with his moves, showing impressive elusiveness...Fine improviser who is very effective at hitting receivers on crossing routes...Has a snappy over-the-top release...Good ball handler and faker with the ability to make the initial tacklers miss...Holds the ball chest-high and can easily step up and avoid the rush...Has great timing and anticipation in the short range passing game.

Negatives... Needs to improve his mechanics, as he has a long delivery...Can slide and buy time with his feet, but looks to run mostly when under pressure...Needs to do a better job of spotting the wide rush and stepping up...Will hurry his passes and put them up for grabs when the pocket collapses and the lanes are not open to run with the ball.
