    Jeff Driskel has an NFL arm, but David Igono shows us that Driskel needs work on the quarterback’s equivalent of a bass line make it in the NFL. A quarterback’s footwork is tied to every successful task he completes. Quarterback prospects that show inconsistency attacking downfield typically have issues with timing and footwork.

He has plenty to clean up in his overall game. He also has to answer durability and size questions. I see a player whose footwork, poise and play-making in the…
