An NFL analyst compares Auburn’s Jarrett Stidham to this NFL quarterback

Now on the cusp of his junior season, Auburn quarterback Jarrett Stidham is looked upon as one of the top quarterback options in the 2019 NFL Draft. With the start of a new year closing in, an NFL analyst broke down Stidham’s game and pointed out his strengths and areas to work on.

NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah analyzed Stidham’s game in a story on NFL.com. After studying Stidham’s play in Auburn’s victories over Arkansas, Georgia and Alabama last fall, Jeremiah wrote he was impressed with the quarterback’s arm strength, accuracy and ability to throw on the run.

On the other hand, Jeremiah noted Gus Malzahn’s offense leaves Stidham with very few intermediate pass attempts and full-field reads, which means he’ll likely experience some growing pains when he reaches the professional level.
