Scouting Report: Strengths
- Good zip and ball placement on the quick slant. Good touch down the seam and on post-corner, flag routes to attack the defense vertically and horizontally.
- Sellers possesses a nice combination of size, athleticism, arm strength and Sellers sells ball fakes effectively.
- Effortless thrower with very good arm strength to make passes downfield. Good all-around athlete with some escapability and speed to make plays with his legs.
- Most of the time he is at ease mentally in the pocket, and he’s willing to stand in and absorb hits while making a throw.
- Sellers has plus arm strength and a willingness and ability to throw receivers open, as well as good ball placement out to intermediate levels.
- From a physical standpoint, a prototypical modern quarterback. His arm strength is very good, with a fairly quick delivery and the velocity and accuracy to make tight-window throws at intermediate levels.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Sellers often plays out of control. His mechanics are sloppy, particularly his footwork, and his decision making is suspect.
- Too often fails to give receivers a chance to make a play after the catch. High completion percentage padded by many quick screens.
- Sellers often holds the ball too long. While Sellers keeps his eyes up while moving, his mechanics get increasingly sloppy once he’s pushed off his spot.
