STRENGTHS
Jamie has the size and arm strength teams are looking for in a quarterback to compete at the next level. He shows on film the ability to make the difficult pass and the ability to move in the pocket and move the chains on third down when it’s required of him. Jamie works well in the shotgun and in a spread offense. That being said, Jamie needs a very good senior bowl week to prove and answer a lot of questions teams will have of him.
CONCERNS
What I see on film of the 2019 season, is a player who has slow feet to set up and struggles to make decisions coming off his first read. Jamie must show (in his year of working out) that he has improved his ability to set up from under center without it affecting his mechanics and accuracy. He also has to prove that he can go more than one progression, not eyeball his target, and have quicker feet in and out of the pocket.
BOTTOM LINE 4.00
What I saw from his 2019 Wake Forest film is a player who has good enough athletic talent to play at the next level but lacks the attention to detail, to compete at the next level. Maybe a year of working out with a QB coach will help him but I don’t care how well he does in senior bowl week under a controlled situation, until he gets on an NFL team and start to work with that type of talent, it is very hard for me to think of him as anything more than developmental and long-range player at that. For me personally, I would let someone else do all the developmental work and wait until his first contract is up to see where he is, at that point of his career. But that’s just me personally. Senior Bowl week will be big for Jamie and if he shines he good attract some teams to select him because he does have the talent teams are looking for at that position and… he has been working out for a whole year to improve. Nevertheless, the Senior Bowl is a controlled Quarterback situation and the NFL is not.
