Showed a strong arm against Oklahoma, with good juice on intermediate throws. Good feel for the timing of the drop-back passing game and should transition well to the NFL. Reads coverage well, and can stick throws into a tight window, essential for an NFL quarterback. Comfortable throwing the ball to the outside with timing.
Cosell also gives Ponder props for his arm strength, something he says Dalton doesn't have. It's Cosell's view that Ponder can make throws that Dalton will never be able to make because he has superior arm strength. And that's a tool that is vitally important in today's NFL.
Ponder more NFL traits than Newton/Locker/Gabbert. Better prospect than Dalton.
