More developed than your average 2030 quarterback, RJ Finlaw RJ Finlaw 5'11" | 200 lbs | QB/ATH NJ is a player to take notice of. Another athlete I had the chance to see compete earlier in the year, RJ solidified himself as one of the rising stars in the 2030 class.

RJ is built strong and can really put zip behind the ball. As he moved through individual drills and into live action against the defensive backs, RJ made it apparent he has devoted a lot of time to perfecting his mechanics, which led to well-timed, accurate throws throughout the day. Composed against the DBs, RJ showed patience in allowing the receiver to run his route and displayed strong decision-making to prevent any contested throws.

RJ’s size and football IQ translate well to the defensive side of the ball, as he lined up in 2024 as a ball-hawking safety. As a quarterback himself, he has a natural understanding of what the offense is showing him, allowing him to anticipate throws and jump routes to take the ball the other way. With RJ’s physicality and quick reactions, he covers a lot of ground quickly and delivers swift, hard-hitting tackles. Based on his size alone, don’t be surprised if we see him get some reps at linebacker in 2025.
