Jordan Love Lacks Solid Decision-Making (2020 NFL Draft)

Jordan Love Lacks Solid Decision-Making (2020 NFL Draft)

Jordan Love, Utah State

Height: 6’4″
Weight: 224 pounds
40-yard dash: 4.69 seconds
Hand Size: 10.5 inches

For those who tuned into the NFL Combine, you heard some extremely nice things being said about Love and his potential in the NFL. He’s a big-armed quarterback who’s known to be a gunslinger, but there are many quarterbacks who’ve come and gone through the league rather quickly despite those traits. Is Love just another big arm or is he more than that?

After posting wonderful totals in 2018, Love regressed more than anyone thought possible in 2019, as he threw just 20 touchdowns in 13 games while being intercepted 17 times. There were just four games where he didn’t throw an interception, as well as four games where he completed less than 52 percent of his passes, highlighting major concerns about his mental processing and consistency.

Here’s my detailed scouting report on Jordan Love (ratings out of five stars):

Arm Strength/Throwing Mechanics

If there’s one thing you know after watching Love, it’s that he has a strong arm that can sling the ball down the field. The issue is that he doesn’t have any touch to his passes and doesn’t put enough air under his ball. He doesn’t understand the term “touch pass.” That’s under accuracy, which is not arm strength, but it needs to be noted. He has plenty of arm strength while moving to both his left and right. He has a wind-up when throwing the ball, drops the ball well below his elbow, which takes a bit to get it out, though his arm generates plenty of speed. His arm strength alone is five stars, though his mechanics ding him in this category, as he relies too much on his arm.
