After a tremendous start to his senior campaign, Stanton is watching his draft stock fall dramatically due to poor play since October. Fell apart and lost confidence as his senior season progressed, then got injured. Possesses the physical and mental skills to start in the NFL, yet must quickly get his game back on track and build upon what was a terrific junior season.


Biography:

Three-year starter whose senior year stats were 61%/1,807/12/10.

All-Conference selection as a junior after completing 66.7% of his throws

Pos:

Smart, hard-working passer with an NFL arm. Patient in the pocket, poised under pressure and buys time for receivers. Throws with an over-the-top delivery, accurate and nicely places the pass. Does not force the ball into coverage. Constantly looking downfield for open targets, yet goes to the safe underneath outlet if nothing else is available. Powers the ball into targets, getting the throw through the tight spots. Loses nothing passing on the move.

Neg:

Not an elusive passer who can escape the rush. Struggled with injuries late in his senior campaign. Holds the ball too long in the pocket. Gets rattled, lose confidence and the roof will cave in.
