Maddux put together a steady season with 1,653 passing yards, 14 touchdowns, and 7 interceptions, showing a balanced skill set as a quarterback. On film, he’s most comfortable working within structure and keeping the offense on track, but what adds another layer to his game is his ability to pull the ball down and take off when things break down. He’s not just sitting in the pocket waiting — when lanes open up, he’s willing to escape and pick up first downs with his legs.

As a passer, he does a good job getting the ball out on time and taking what the defense gives him, especially in the short and intermediate game. He plays with control, avoids unnecessary risks most of the time, and understands how to manage drives. That mobility element makes him more difficult to defend, because defenses can’t fully key on just the passing game when he starts moving the chains with his feet.
