Where does Rudolph stand going into the 2018 NFL Draft?

Measurables

Height: 6’5

Weight: 230 lbs

Positives

Physically, Rudolph reminds me of Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz coming out of North Dakota State. Both stand at 6’5 and around 230 lbs coming out of college with long legs and a strong arm.

He’s athletic enough to avoid pass rushers and despite being under pressure he’ll step up in the pocket with his eyes always downfield. /

Rudolph will throw with touch and consistently showed the ability to drop the ball in the bucket.

Against Pitt in 2017, Rudolph completed seven of nine throws where the ball went 20 yards in the air. The two non-completions were a drop and a pass interference. On throws where the ball went 30 yards in the air, two were overthrown along the sideline, one was picked off after being underthrown, and the other two were completed.

Rudolph’s two throws that went at least 40 yards through the air were either completed or dropped.

Rudolph displayed excellent awareness throughout his career, including when he was nearly taken down for a safety but he was able to muscle his way out and get the ball across the goal line.
