VanHoesen impresses me with his film. Measuring in at 5’8 160-pounds, last season he went 54/118 for 819 yards, 45.8% completion rate, 8 TDs, 4 INT. Good athletic ability due to very good balance, acceleration, good speed, and change of direction. He creates plays out of nothing. Very good throw power with very good release. I’ve spoken before on his anticipation with his throws, leading the receiver. Very good ball placement skills. VanHoesen has good progression speed. Stays poised in the pocket, and has good pocket mobility. Very good under pressure. Launches the ball downfield with edge rushers in his face. Valley has a good one on their hands, and I’m very intrigued with his development going forward.
