STRENGTHS
Justin has excellent size and athletic talent to play his position at a high level. He has the arm strength to make all the throws and the talent to extend plays in and out of the pocket. Justin looks to have the respect of his coaches and the players around him. Justin has had a successful college career in this style of offense. He has started in a lot of games and taken a lot of snaps and this should help him in his workouts and at the next level.
CONCERNS
Although Justin has a lot of experience playing his position his lack of instincts and moxie along with a lack of leadership skills in adverse situations is lacking. He does a good job getting his teammates in the right positions to run plays but lacks the understanding that if plays do not work as they do in practice that he is the one on the field that has to find a way to make them work. In short, Justin is too robotic
TALENT BOARD ROUND 3.17
With all the experience that Justin has, it shocks how robotic he is with just running plays and thinking that’s all that needs to be done. Justin will run the same play, the same way, without understanding that sometimes the hot receiver is not the hot receiver because of the defense he is up against. He will do the same progressions on that play every single time it is called. He has to understand that once a play is called from the sidelines the play is his play and the success or failure is all his. Justin has to learn that sometimes you change the progression of that play depending on the changes of a defense. You just don’t run the play the way it was called all the time. This is what is called instincts and in my opinion, this is what Justin seems to lack. This year it’s almost like he was just running plays to run plays. If they didn’t work, they didn’t work and he had no clue as to why. I know I’m out on a limb here in suggesting this because I’m not on the field but I see what I see and at this point I see Justin lacking the instincts and moxie and overall leadership skills that are required for the next level. Until he gains those attributes he will struggle being consistent and getting his team above an 8and 8 record.
