Slimm mentioned that Drew Lock had yet to develop a "nuanced" selection of throws, despite great arm strength. This is something that Drew Anderson of Murray State has on him.
Anderson definitely has the same caliber arm strength as Drew Lock. This fast ball is as fast as anything I've seen out of Drew Lock, on about a 30 yard throw. Anderson had his feet, was able to step into it, and drove this football about 54-55 mph average speed over the distance.
And on this throw you see Anderson rolling to his right. What I found most interesting about this one is his feet are actually off the ground when he heaves this thing, all arm and upper body, keeping the ball's average speed at about 52 mph.
Now this ball doesn't have the same energy as the previous two (I believe it was about 47-48 mph), but note that he's rolling LEFT and throwing against his body leverage. The ball still flies off his hand, and that's important.
And finally, this is the coup de grace (to me). The above instances are all about your arm strength and range. Can you drive the football, can you drill it rolling right, can you still get energy and accuracy rolling left. THIS throw below though, is all about nuance.
This is virtually the same distance as the first throw that he drove at about 54-55 mph. But he's got to drop the ball OVER top of a defender, and still get the ball to SIT underneath another defender. So it's the same distance as the other throw, which he stepped into and took a 54-55 mph arc trajectory, but this time he chooses a 44 mph arc trajectory so that he can sneak it over that lower defender.
That's a lot of arm talent.
And just as a bonus...this guy also has a great set of wheels, when he gets up to speed.
