He does a nice job of running for extra yards when he runs through contact. He also shows good speed when he runs. As a thrower of the football, he throws with a good touch on the ball.

Strader is really good on designed sprint passing plays where he can sprint out set his feet and throw the ball. He also shows a good ability to make plays when the play breaks down.

It is impressive to see his instincts in the pocket. Peel shows good mechanics and footwork in the pocket as well.

He does a good job of getting in his drops, setting his feet, and throwing the ball well.
