Scouting Report: Strengths
- Very good athlete at the QB position who put up a 4.65 40 and a 34.5 inch vertical at the combine
- Dual threat player who is always a threat to break out of the pocket and make big yardage
- Is not scared to Spray the ball anywhere on the field, especially when given a pocket from which to deliver. Will step up into pocket while looking downfield, reset his feet and deliver.
- Good accuracy overall, including excellent accuracy on short timing routes.
- Dual-threat quarterback with athletic footwork and mobility. An instinctive runner with very good toughness - uses stiff arms and runs with good body strength.
- Gets the ball out quickly, making ·splitsecond decisions. Good short to intermediate level accuracy
- Gets the ball from one hash to the opposite sideline in a hurry. Has the zip to hit tight windows on short and intermediate throws.
- Doesn't always look to run - can take time in the pocket to patiently wait for the receiver to break
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Inconsistent downfield passer and puts too much air under his throws.
- Lacks poise in the pocket and sometimes abandons his reads too quickly. Takes too many chances.and has thrown far too many interceptions
- Undersized and short in stature - looks diminutive in the huddle.
- Sails throws to either sideline; receivers make him look good with acrobatic catches. Back-foot throws are not accurate. Sometimes trusts his arm too much, trying to stick passes late in the play or when off-balance.
- Strong enough arm to make basic throws but has only average overall arm strength.
- Footwork is undeveloped and his throwing mechanics are poor
- Has small hands (9 inches) may struggle with an NFL ball
- A little undersized for the position at 6-2 may struggle to see over pro lines
Scouting Report: Summary
EJ Perry is an excellent athlete at the QB position who possesses very good speed and is a natural escape artist, he, however, has suspect mechanics and poor footwork, only average arm strength and has played at a lower collegiate level in the Ivy League. Given his skillset, Perry will likely be looked at as a late-round pick who could be a backup in an offense that makes extensive use of the RPO game.EJ Perry percentiles vs other Quarterbacks (NFL Combine historically - higher value represents better perfomance)
