Neither of those look like best athlete on the field, he looks like a giant that can run and is powerful. But he wasn’t out running guys with angles.
He looks like a good athlete in those but he’s not running away from anyone. He looks like a big powerful guy who is fast, but not best athlete on the field like he tested.
He’s running away from people. Obviously he has to slow down to navigate the people in front of him, but he was definitely running away. You’ve said yourself that Will Levis looks like 4.5 on tape. I strongly disagree, but assuming you’re right. Levis doesn’t even have a single run over 30 yards and Richardson has multiple over 50 yards. They are not even close physically and the majority of scouts and people on this board can see that on tape. When the only outlier is you, that’s probably because you’re just not good at this sort of evaluation.
No you’re making false comparisons. Levis is a plus athlete at QB, period. He has a better arm and is just as powerful in short areas. 10’4 broad jump is elite. AR is faster for sure. And there’s a difference between a high 4.5 and a low 4.5. On tape AR didn’t look long speed 4.4, he isn’t running away from anyone in that video. He hits the holes hard and then gets chased down by LSU players and cut off at the end with guys with angles. What he showed there is he’s a giant, strong man with legitimate speed. He tested better than his tape. While Levis is a top tier athlete, AR is in a league of his own from a testing standpoint.
To me one of the big takeaways from the combine is the fact that a.) the Texans need to sit tight at 2, they'll get a DAWG regardless. and b.) Will Levis is easily QB4. He's definitely an athlete, but considering him and A-Rich both need to learn accuracy and touch, the fact that Rich is a much better athlete separates him from Levis imo. As for Stroud and BY, their tape has shown more than enough that they're QB1 and 2.
In those highlights he looks like a very good runner, but if he runs like that in the NFL, I'm afraid he's going to get killed. Also I didn't see any accuracy issues throwing to his left.
Disagree with this, I hope Richardson can become as good of a thrower with accuracy and anticipation as Levis was in 2021. Richardson is the better runner, like I said I wouldn't draft any QB from this draft, but if there's one QB I really dont want it's Stroud. He looked great throwing against air at the combine. That's not really surprising. The big question mark for Stroud is how's he going to perform under pressure and that cant be answered at a combine setting. We know Levis can perform pretty well under pressure as can Young. Plus both Young and Levis have both operated pro style offenses. The one thing that kinda surprises me is that Texans fans haven't knocked Young down some because BOB taught him how to play QB at the college level.
