Strengths

• Dual threat QB, can be a dangerous runner with speed, vision, and shiftiness. Weapon in the Designed run game with QB Power and Draw concepts especially.
• Live Arm with a strong deep ball. Good velocity on his throws to fit into tight windows. Can maintain accuracy at very deep depths. Lots of NFL caliber throws on tape. Can generate power off platform too.
• Has a Quick Release, thriving in RPO and Play Action concepts. Motion is smooth and quick and he decides where to go very quickly.
• Improviser who doesn’t put the ball in harm’s way. Chambliss is a sensational playmaker when the first read isn’t there, able to buy time away from the rush to try and make a play happen, either by himself or finding a receiver downfield. Hard to bring down for a sack with his shiftiness.
• Good Accuracy, has shown pinpoint placement at all depths and zones.
• Flashed clutch play in the playoffs in Win against Georgia and in Loss against Miami

Weaknesses

• Undersized QB who can struggle to see the middle of the field when the pocket gets compromised. Has several batted passes at the line due to shorter release level.
• Still learning as a QB. Can get confused by pre snap disguises and blitz bails into coverage from defenders. Doesn’t make protection calls and often relies on coaches on the sidelines for blitz pickup calls and presnap adjustments.
• Needs to keep his eyes downfield more vs pressure, looks to run instead and bails from the pocket. Will relook downfield once out of pocket and able to reset feet.
• Can get caught staring down first read, needs to learn how to manipulate defenders with his eyes.
• Overall inexperienced, has only 2 years as a starter, 1 year in FBS.

Draft Projection

Round 2 Grade
