Prospect Comparison: Jared Goff vs Carson Wentz

Physical attributes: Wentz

When judging the physical attributes of the two quarterbacks, it starts when you first look at them. Wentz is 6’5″, 235 pounds with a big arm and very athletic, running a 4.77 40 at the NFL Scouting Combine. Then there’s the all-important hand measurement, where he came in with 10-inch hands.

Also at the combine, he showed his agility, running through the 3-cone drill in 6.86 seconds. He’s from a pro style offense with a few Spread Offense plays to take advantage of his athleticism. So while he’s mainly a prototypical drop-back passer, you can call him a running quarterback as well.

Goff is 6’4″, 215 pounds, which is a little on the slight size for a quarterback in today’s game. He will need to gain a good 20 pounds in order to take the pounding he’ll get standing in the pocket. Goff is a good athlete but not quite the athlete Wentz is, running a 4.82 40 and a 7.17 3-cone drill.

The Bear Raid Offense Goff ran in college had a lot of pro concepts to it in the passing game. But like the Spread Offense, he was always in the shotgun and ran the option out of that formation. Like Wentz, Goff has a big arm but doesn’t quite have the arm strength Wentz has.
