TIM HASSELBECK
By: Dave-Te' Thomas

#7-TIM HASSELBECK Boston College Eagles 6:01.3-206

ANALYSIS
Positives... Tough, well-respected leader who has total command of the huddle...Instinctive passer who senses pressure well...Effective hitting his backs in stride in the short area and appears very comfortable in setting up and getting to his release point...Shows the ability to slide out of the pocket and throw on the move.

Negatives... Will get a look strictly on his family bloodlines...Had adequate quickness in his throwing motion and while he senses pressure well, he has a severe case of "happy feet" and is always looking to run at the slightest amount of pressure put on the pocket...Has taken the game of football too seriously and has made it his sole quest in life to play at the next level (but unfortunately, he does not have the athletic skills of his brother, Matt)...Has a poor release point and marginal technique in his delivery...Can not generate any zip or accuracy on his deep tosses...Not the best decision-maker you will find, generally forcing his passes when flushed...Opponents are up the fact that if you rattle him early, you take him out of his game altogether... Needs to upgrade his clock management skills...Has a lot of inconsistencies throwing in the intermediate area, making his receivers constantly work to get to the ball...Has limited field vision, barely spotting his alternate receivers...Ball seems to flutter when forced to unleash the long bombs...Body lacks muscle definition and appears much older than his birth certificate would indicate.

CAREER NOTES
Two-year starter who has played in a total of 37 games as an Eagle... Completed 278 of 501 passes (55.5%) for 3890 yards, 29 touchdowns and 16 interceptions during his career...Added 343 yards and four scores on 135 carries (2.5 avg).
