Traits That Make a QB Prospect Great
Quarterback play is one of the most complicated positions to scout because physical traits aren’t the primary factor. Arm talent, football IQ, and functional athleticism are among some of the most important factors of scouting the top quarterback prospects.
Some of the factors we consider when scouting are included below.
Arm Talent
Nothing is more important when creating quarterback draft rankings than evaluating arm talent. This includes multiple things: Arm strength (both distance and speed), accuracy on all 3 levels, ease of throwing motion, and ability to throw on the move.
Field Vision
Field vision and anticipation is often what separates a talented quarterback from a successful quarterback. A good prospect needs to have the ability to see when players are about to become open. If they wait to release the ball until their receiver is open, they’ll likely be covered by the time the ball reaches their target.
Football IQ
Decision making, play recognition, and overall awareness of the situation helps a quarterback take the next step from college QB to NFL starter. College often simplifies play calling, whereas NFL quarterback prospects need to fully understand the play book and situation.
Functional Athleticism
The top ranked QB draft prospect doesn’t need to have 4.4 speed, but they should have functional athleticism. They’ll need the ability to extend plays, navigate within the pocket, and have a strong enough base to withstand light contact and avoid sacks.
Overall Opinion of the 2025 QB Class
As of right now, the 2025 quarterback class is looking quite weak. Depending on how many QBs decide to enter the draft, there’s a chance it has good depth. But the lack of clear #1 talent really hurts the outlook of the class, as most of the frontrunners entering the year ended up taking a step back.
It’s reminding me quite a bit of the 2022 NFL Draft QB class, where Sam Howell and Spencer Rattler headlined the class entering the season before totally falling off the radar.
This class likely won’t be that bad, but there certainly isn’t enough talent to satisfy all the QB needy teams in the NFL.
