Kaidon Salter

Adequate height with lean, athletic build. A bit slight of frame and will need to add some bulk. Dynamic dual-threat QB with loose, live arm to all levels. Natural playmaker with a feel for the game. Good pocket passer with athleticism and playmaking knack to consistently hurt defenses outside the pocket. Dangerous runner by design and via scrambles. Capable of varying arm angles as needed. Adequate release quickness with encouraging short-to-intermediate velocity and vertical arm strength. Throws well on the run and is particularly effective in off-schedule situations. Light on his feet and sets quickly when in the pocket. Possesses arm strength to throw flat-footed when under pressure and is willing to stand in and take punishment to do so. Two-sport athlete with impressive track and field profile that includes 300-meter hurdles, high jump, long jump, and triple jump. Excellent top-end speed relative to QB position. Generally a smart runner who knows how to minimize physical toll as ball carrier. Sometimes takes unnecessary chances as a passer. Overconfident at times as a playmaker, but that's also part of what makes him so dangerous as a QB. May be somewhat physically limited in the long term. One of the nation's top QB prospects in the 2021 class. Projects to high-major level as a multi-year starter with an NFL Draft ceiling.
