Scouting Report: Strengths
- Super athletic - Made Bruce Feldman's 2023 Freak's List at #70. He Wrote: "He has a 4.0 in engineering, 6 percent body fat, a 39-inch vert, is 210 pounds. Smartest QB I have ever been around, 4.3 40-yard dash. Smartest human alive. Will be president of United States. Every father wants their daughter to date him. Every mother wants to adopt him."
- Sprays 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 to backs and receivers, placing the ball slightly in front to lead receivers to potential yardage after the catch.
- He’s good enough as a runner to work read-option plays, keeping back-side defenders in place.
- Picks up yards with his legs when needed.
- Mellott is enough of a threat as a runner to earn respect from back-side defenders at the next level, opening opportunities for running backs.
- Ball placement is a strength. Mellott has the natural instincts to make plays when forced to improvise.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Mellott has a tendency to hold the ball too long, and Mellott will make panicked throws; good things don’t always follow when he’s forced to extend plays.
- Inconsistent downfield passer and puts too much air under his throws.
- He’s clearly more effective when on the move, and many of his reads were half-field.
