Scouting Report: Strengths
- Morgan showed the ability to get the ball downfield, and Morgan exhibited impressive velocity and accuracy when throwing on the move.
- 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. He has the natural instincts to make plays when forced to improvise.
- Good (not elite) arm strength and can easily make all the NFL throws with effortless deep passes.
- Morgan has a quick release and shows good accuracy on shorter throws when on the move to either side.
- 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.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Has struggled with his decision-making and needs to improve his pre-snap recognition skills to read defenses and see blitzes. Doesn't decipher information as quickly as you would like, but does see the entire field and understands coverage.
- He’s going to have a tough time with full-field reads. Accuracy’s an issue when throwing into tight windows.
- His arm is good but not great, and Morgan loses accuracy and velocity when he is moved off his spot.
