Brock Osweiler Scouting Report, QB, ASU
Brock Osweiler doesn’t have a ton of experience, but he’s really gaining momentum as a N.F.L. prospect
This is our preliminary scouting report for a very talented, but very raw quarterback prospect-Arizona State’s Brock Osweiler. Osweiler has been gaining a lot of momentum lately as a prospect. He has big time upside. It is very possible he returns for his senior season because of the competition he has at the quarterback spot with Luck, Barkley, Landry, and Griffin III among others (Tannehill, Russel Wilson). If he does declare though, his potential could be very enticing for a team who could make him a first round pick if he has a huge predraft process. Odds are he goes back to school to try and improve his stock.

Pros–Pretty strong arm…fantastic athlete…former basketball star (turned down scholarship to Gonzaga) who has good footwork and knows how to avoid the rush… keeps his eyes downfield…gamer mentality…seems to have control of the huddle…plays under Dennis Erickson, some of the best coaching in the country (same throwing coach as Tim Tebow)…good touch on his passes…can make all the throws
Cons–Not many players with his height play QB in the NFL, doesn’t mean he can’t be the first…still very raw and inexperienced…lots of growing pains yet to go through…playing in Pac 12 which is not exactly a defensive powerhouse conference…slightly awkward delivery which doesn’t hinder him because of his height, but is awkward nonetheless…throws a few more interceptions than you’d like…needs more time to learn how to effectively read through progressions
Player comparision--Potentially bigger Philip Rivers
Thoughts
Osweiler is a very talented quarterback prospect with unusual size. He has really come on this year. He throws a few more interceptions than you would like, but all the talent is there. It’s likely he returns for another year because of all the competition ahead of him and because he still has a lot of room to grow, but if he does declare his unique potential could be cause enough for some team to draft him. A comparision you see thrown out there a lot is Ryan Mallett, but he doesn’t have Mallett’s “character concerns”.
