NFL.com: NC State’s Ryan Finley 1 of 5 Passers to Watch in 2018

Bucky Brooks of NFL.com broke down the Top-5 NFL quarterback prospects to watch in 2018, and NC State’s Ryan Finley was one of the handful. Here’s what he had to say about the Wolfpack signal caller:

Ryan Finley, N.C. State: QBs billed as “game managers” rarely earn rave reviews from observers, but NFL personnel executives love a dependable playmaker from the pocket like Finley. He excels at distributing the ball to receivers on short and intermediate throws as part of a dink-and-dunk offense that places a premium on ball control. As a vertical thrower, Finley displays enough arm strength to push the ball down the field, but he is a selective “shot” taker with a game that’s built for a West Coast Offense-like system. With some coaches favoring a high-completion-percentage playmaker at the position, the way Finley is valued could depend largely on a team’s preference for its style of QB. (NFL)
