Strength: Ball Placement

One of the most elusive traits to find in a quarterback at any level is the ability to throw a receiver open. A vast majority of players can locate and target the open man, but few can actually put the ball in a spot that leads their teammate to where they should be.

Regardless how you may feel about the rest of his game, Logan Woodside has the undeniable ability to throw his teammates open.

Woodside is one of the most accurate quarterbacks in the 2018 NFL Draft. He can make throws at all three levels, displaying the vital combination of arm strength, confidence, and ball placement to pick defenses in man coverage apart.

Woodside’s arm won’t exactly blow Josh Allen‘s out of the water, but he can make the necessary throws and fit the ball into tight coverage.

For those who need to see numbers, Woodside posted an adjusted completion percentage of 65 percent over the past two seasons. ACP removes throws that were made behind the line of scrimmage, thus limiting the sample size to passes that traveled a fair distance.

It’s not the only system that would fit him, but if Woodside is placed in a West Coast Offense with receivers who can make plays after the catch, he could be lethal.
