Strengths:
Bradford has ideal height for an NFL quarterback prospect and has the solid body type he can build on to by adding more weight through strength training. He displays very good mechanics in dropping back quickly while also showing off good footwork and is able to deliver the ball very quickly even in the face of pressure.
Some of the things Bradford does well though many don’t notice is his anticipation of routes and where the receiver will be .He is able to quickly check off receiving options until he finds an open target.
Having said all of this I know what many detractors will say; that he played in a spread option system, which of course he did. However, his spread system is very different to that of those Colt McCoy or Tim Tebow run, and I grade them much lower than Bradford. His offense involved multiple reads both pre and post snap along with more time coming back from under center than most realize.
