Tyler Wilson (QB, Arkansas): Tyler Wilson is coming off an impressive junior year campaign. Wilson was expected to take the next step and become an elite signal caller for the Razorbacks. This season, Wilson racked up 3,387 yards and 21 TDs, but he also more than doubled his career total with 13 INTs thrown this season.
Against LSU, Wilson made 31 of 52 pass attempts, with one INT and one TD. Wilson’s average snap-to-pass was an NFL-level 2.42 seconds. Wilson crumpled under pressure in the pocket, completing just seven of 20 pass attempts. When facing five or more pass rushers, Wilson completed six of 12 passes. Below is a quick breakdown of Wilson’s throws in the game.
Short passes (0-5 yards): 25 of 34; average snap-to-pass time was 2.38 seconds
Intermediate passes (6-11 yards): 1 of 4; average snap-to-pass time was 2.51
Deep passes (12+ yards): 4 of 16; average snap-to-pass time was 2.42
Wilson tends to stare down his receivers and has trouble being accurate in his pass attempts going over the middle of the field. He consistently underthrew his deep passes and lacks quality fundamentals to throw the football on the run. Wilson is a developmental quarterback who will need time to work on a number of fundamental issues; he could develop into a backup. A number of scouts say Wilson reminds them of current Chief Matt Cassel. |
Interesting analysis. Odd that they seem to base their evaluation on one game (against LSU). I would say that 2.52 and 2.42 seconds to pass is incredibly fast for college, especially on 12+ yard passes.
The biggest problems with Wilson appear to be (a) he drops his arm on windup, (b) not enough air on deeper passes, (c) he developed bad habits getting his butt kicked in 2012.
