2022 NFL DRAFT: CARSON STRONG
Apr 9, 2022
By John Mesenbrink
Nevada (JR), QB
Is the risk worth the reward? Projected as a 3rd-round pick and the 5th-8th QB taken off the board, Carson Strong’s senior campaign at Nevada was quietly mind blowing. Throwing for 4,100 YDS/36 TDs at a 70% completion rate, Strong could be the NFL Draft’s biggest wild card for QBs. He has all of the tools and above average arm talent, but the injury bug has bitten. Coming off two major knee surgeries, Strong says he is healthy going into his rookie year. So who takes the chance?
PLUSES:
• Arm Strength (most completions of 50 yards plus)
• Leadership qualities
• Great touch
CONCERNS:
• Injury history
• NOT mobile
• Needs to read entire field
