Scouting Report: Strengths
- Sprays the ball anywhere on the field, especially when given a pocket from which to deliver. Will step up into pocket while looking downfield, reset his feet and deliver.
- Ball placement is a strength. Nussmeier has the natural instincts to make plays when forced to improvise.
- Good accuracy overall, including excellent accuracy on short timing routes to backs and receivers, placing the ball slightly in front to lead receivers to potential yardage after the catch.
- Flashes good accuracy to all levels of the field and has the arm strength to make every requisite NFL throw.
- Athletic quarterback who is a threat to leave the pocket and gain positive yardage at any time. Possesses very good vision balance, elusiveness and deceptive speed and power as a runner.
- Gets the ball out quickly, making ·splitsecond decisions. Good short to intermediate level accuracy, demonstrating the ball placement to allow receivers to run after the catch.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Very ordinary arm, though there is room for improvement with better technique. Lacks strength to stretch the field horizontally or vertically. Throws too many passes flat-footed or without his feet being set.
- Nussmeier has to clean up his throwing motion when he’s on the move. Nussmeier was often too quick to pull the ball down and take off, and Nussmeier seemed to have trouble sifting through moving parts in the middle of the field.
- Mechanically, his stride is inconsistent, adding to accuracy issues. His decision making after the snap is shaky.
