QB Functional Mobility Model 2020

Guest column by Jeremy Rosen and Alexandre Olbrecht

2019 was the year of the mobile quarterback. In April, the Arizona Cardinals drafted Kyler Murray (who received the highest projection in our model last year) with the first overall pick. Murray then won Offensive Rookie of the Year and became the second first-year player in NFL history with at least 3,500 passing yards and 500 rushing yards (Cam Newton was the first). Moreover, his 7.1 rushing yards per attempt in college were the highest of any quarterback drafted in the first three rounds dating back to at least 1985.
