2017 NFL Draft: Breaking down Notre Dame QB DeShone Kizer
By Peter Manfre

Highlights
Deshone Kizer shows unreal grip on the football that allows him to throw exaggerated pump fakes. He makes good reads in a pro system; you can see him actually go through the progressions.
Kizer throws a really good deep ball and can back up and put the ball on a frozen rope when he gets his mechanics correct.
Kizer is an agile statue in the pocket, always ready for the defensive pressure, but not skittish at all— there is a difference. He stands tall.
More notes:
- Cool to see him pick up and hug his offensive line after a score versus the Syracuse Orange.
- Hits his men in stride on deep balls.
- Comfortable mover but also comfortable statue.
- Runs a clean pocket and does a lot to help the offensive line with subtle movements.
