STRENGTHS
Trey is a talented quarterback with excellent arm talent along with the athletic talent to run and extend plays. He has good size and the strength to hold up physically at the next level and take the pounding a pocket passing quarterback will have to take. He shows excellent accuracy and touch along with the arm strength and throwing velocity that will attract all thirty-two teams. Trey looks on film to be a good teammate along with being an excellent athlete. He has the athletic talent to become a starting quarterback for the team that selects him.
CONCERNS
Athletically, Trey has the talent, but it is raw talent. This raw talent, along with a football IQ and decision-making abilities that are nowhere near the level needed for him to be a starting quarterback in the NFL, makes Trey the type of player who will need to sit and learn or he will not make it. Trey also has a little bit of the “Jay Cutler syndrome”. He gets down on himself when things are not going his way and gets frustrated and without excellent play-calling this becomes an issue that will be magnified at the next level.
BOTTOM LINE 2.19
Trey’s size, athletic talents, accuracy, and arm talent is up there with the best quarterbacks in this draft. His football IQ and leadership talents are not. It’s not his fault, it’s just the reality of losing a year of repetitions and playing against teams with overall athletic talent that does not challenge him. I’m convinced his talent makes him a potential 1st round selection mostly because teams will need the fifth-year option. Trey has the talent to back up while he learns because his athletic talent and size give him the potential to win games but, thinking he is ready for a 16-game schedule at this point in his career is in my opinion, a big mistake. Look for teams with a veteran QB, ready to call it a career as the most likely type of teams to select Trey. A team like the Falcons or Steelers, Patriots might be looking at selecting Trey in the 1st round, to groom him for the future like the Packers are attempting to do with their 1st round QB selection last year.
