Ourlads' Profile:
2019 Guide: What Ourlads' NFL Scouting Services said about GARDNER MINSHEW II: Washington State, 6007 225 4.97. One year starter from Brandon, MS. Graduate transfer from East Carolina. Burst on the college scene in 2018 with his mustache and devil-may-care attitude. Voted a team captain in his only season. Was Coach Mike Leach’s most recent Air Raid protégé. Average arm strength with good touch and timing. A smart, aware, and alert passer who can go from pre to post snap and read all defensive packages. Accurate short and medium. Throws a lot of check downs and running back release routes. Has some movement skills to avoid and escape the rush. He proved in his one year on the Palouse he could take charge of a group of teammates. Shows toughness and team leadership. Has average arm strength and rarely had to laser it in tight windows. Receivers were generally running wide open. Best as a play action passer. Struggled in a new environment at the Senior Bowl in a pro style offense. Arm strength was questionable. Had a tendency to throw high and low away from the receivers. Completed just one of eight passes in the game. Demonstrated for the Cougars and Senior Bowl that he gets the ball out quickly on wide receiver screens. Has borderline measurables and physical skills. 2018 stats: 468/662, 4779 yds, 70.7%, 38 TD, 9 INT, 119 yds rushing, 4 TD, 147.6 QB rating. Ball velocity 55 mph. OSR:11/16. Sixth/seventh round.
