Scherrer displays good athletic ability due to very good acceleration, good change of direction, balance, and speed. He has a good release and good throw power. He excels in placing the ball where it needs to be depending on the situation. Very good situational awareness with very good ball placement skills. Scherrer has good pocket presence. He'll stay poised while going through his progressions. If no one's open, he'll use his quick bursts of speed to punish the defense. With continued growth at the position, I'm expecting Scherrer to take that next step in his development!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
