Player Notes

Carson Strong Bio

  • Carson Strong has elite arm talent; not only in arm strength but with his release as well
  • Has great ball placement downfield and had very few turnover-worthy plays in his final season
  • Had to have knee surgery twice, I explain more in my mock draft, would be a top ten-five pick otherwise
  • Mobility isn’t a plus, but is good enough to maneuver the pocket well; needs to play more confident in the pocket in the pros

Grading Scale

Pot=Potential: players’ highest upside

Imp=Impact: player’s immediate impact

Int=Intercept: # of overall points subtracted from overall grade for a given position; the formula for each position comes up with a base overall which is then subtracted by the ‘Int’ # to get the final grade; each position’s base overall scale varies from 110-140.
