Mitchell Trubisky
QB - North Caroline - #10 - RS Junior
6-2 - 222 - 4.67 speed
Two-year stats: 13 starts - 344 of 493 for 4,273 yards - 69.7 percent - 36 TD/6 INT - 409 yards rushing - 5 rushing TDs
Trubisky burst on to the scene for only one season, but it turned plenty of heads and may put him in the first hour of the draft.
POSITIVES: For a guy who waited 3 years for his chance, he was pretty polished when he got his chance. He has good size and movement in the pocket and can roll out and throw on the run with accuracy. He gets the ball out quick where it needs to go in today's quick RPO offensive structures. He seems content in marching a team by taking what is given by coverages and seeing the field. He is calm in intense situations and led his team to late drives on several occasions and in hostile settings. He can throw off balance with tremendous velocity and can make all of the NFL throws that you wish for. He seems to be comfortable in the face of blitzes and can make quick reads to get the ball out.
CONCERNS: The biggest concern is not having just a whole lot to go on before 2016, so you are curious how a guy performs when a book is out on him. The book is really small at this point and there is a sample size issue in his evaluation. That said, he threw 446 passes this season and put a nice reel together. He will sometimes lock on to one guy which can be dangerous. He will often times neglect his mechanics to throw off balance which certainly doesn't help the ball placement. His game against Virginia Tech was in the rain and it looked uncomfortable all day throwing the wet ball. That day included some poor body language which you prefer to not see from your QB. Like so many prospects, he has almost no under-center snaps.
Overall, in a season without any top-tier QBs, I can see why many have him listed as QB1 or close to it. He seems to be able to do what is needed on Sundays.
