I have seen him against LSU. He did display some crazy athletic ability, helpful in situations to avoid the pass rush and sacks. But he takes too long to read and process and merely completes about 55% of his passes. And it assuredly won't be any easier in the NFL, even if he has/got SEC experience, which really only one full year. Can't run for your life on every play. I got the sense he was already feeling the pressure of having been drafted so loftily. We'll see obviously.
Jalen Hurts proved folks he could do it. Props to Jalen Hurts for putting in the time/work and improving each year.
