http://www.nfl.com/draft/2015/profiles/jerry-lovelocke?id=2552644Strengths
Big quarterback with strong hands and above-average arm strength. Gets good depth in his drops and sets up quickly. Won't rattle easily in pocket and keeps eyes upfield, searching for a play to make. Able to shake off would-be sacks with pure lower-body strength. Short-yardage and goal-line finisher as rusher. Shows leg drive and falls forward behind his burly frame. Scored 19 rushing touchdowns. Team leader with positive personality.
Weaknesses
Has tendency to launch himself upward when transferring weight forward rather than sitting down and driving ball with his lower body. Needs coaching and game experience to learn to get through his progressions rather than locking in prematurely. Gives away intentions with his eyes, bringing safeties to the party. Babies too many throws rather than sitting down and ripping them. Has issues with easy throws sailing on him. Lacks elusiveness outside of pocket.
Draft Projection
Priority free agent
Bottom Line
As an NFL prospect, Lovelocke is nowhere near ready to make an NFL team. However, he is worth bringing into camp to gauge how quickly he can pick up mechanical tweaks and reading defenses if taught by an NFL coach. With his size and arm, he should find his way into a camp.
