"Writings on the wall for Tua."

 

Not much on him, he was at Florida State and transferred to Arkansas St...grew up in Bell Glades, FL. Cant' find any true scouting reports but here's a summary:

Pros:

• Very suitable arm talent. Pushes the ball well downfield. Looks solid doing it.
• Flashes some ability to throw with touch and timing.
• Average downfield runner.

Cons:

• Accuracy is very spotty.
• Struggles with consistency with his placement.
• Bad pocket positioning. Struggles to get into the proper spot, very inconsistent. Leads him to face a lot of unnecessary pressure.
• Does not maneuver the pocket well at all. Struggles to avoid blitzers or pass rushers who work free. Doesn’t work himself to space effectively.
• Does not throw well off platform. Has the mobility to create and extend plays but not as a passer.

He must have some impressive film because this does not get me excited at all, LOL. He can scramble for yardage and has a big arm, but is weak in virtually everything else? Umm...Tua may be safe after all.

 

Every year there's 3-4 undrafted players that go on to have long successful NFL careers. Maybe we hit on one?

 

We've been pretty good about finding quality UDFA players. One of the reasons I'm excited about Cam Smith is the depth he provides along with Kader Kohoe, who I expect to see grow this season.
