Finley’s interception-less streak has reached 313 passes. That pops. And he’s stretching the field a reasonable amount of times per game. He moves well, has a strong arm and has NFL size. Finley isn’t flashy. Doesn’t matter to me though. Thus far in 2017, Finley’s gotten it done at every level of the field as a passer, and he’s done most of his work from the pocket. He’s currently completing over 69 percent of his passes at 7.94 yards per attempt with 11 touchdowns.
All season, Finley has: repeatedly checked two or three of his options across the entire field from the pocket; made assertive, accurate passes to all levels of the field; and even displayed some scrambling ability. Right when the announcers were calling for some deep passes against Louisville, Finley delivered. There’s plenty to like about his game, and his strengths translate to the NFL level. (CBS)
