QB nobody has heard of (much) Haynes King, GaTech

MHS831 · November 6

Hear me out--cause I got lotsa 'splaining to do. Doing some bottom fishing. This guy is 6'3" and runs a 4.45 40. gonna come back to that later. He is not on anyone's draft radar. However, I am thinking QB3, special teams, and possibly a pass-catching TE. Taysom Hill, you ask? I dunno. Maybe. However, his QB fundamentals (based on this website) are interesting in that he could be a dual threat option at QB. His height and speed make me curious about other positions--a slot WR or wide TE--depends on his hands, but he has the tools.

Anytime you get a QB to play another position, they are intelligent--they understand the game better than other players. Can he catch? Is he a developmental QB who can play special teams?

Here is what they say about him--as a QB. I am also going to show his qb measures.

Scouting Report: Summary

A gunslinger with wheels, King brings an explosive element to the quarterback position that will have NFL scouts salivating. His ability to stress defenses both vertically with his cannon arm and horizontally with his 4.4 speed makes him a scheme-diverse prospect. King's quick release and ability to deliver strikes from various arm angles will translate well to the next level, where getting the ball out quickly is paramount.

However, King is still a work in progress in terms of consistency and decision-making. His tendency to play "hero ball" leads to turnovers, and he'll need to learn when to take the check-down or throw the ball away. His frame is also a concern, as he'll need to add bulk to withstand the rigors of an NFL season. King's accuracy on short and intermediate throws must improve for him to become a complete NFL quarterback.

King profiles as a high-ceiling, developmental prospect who could benefit from time in an NFL quarterback room. His rare physical tools and playmaking ability make him an intriguing project for teams with established veteran quarterbacks. FWIW, King is the 22nd rated QB on NFLDraftBuzz.
