Scouting Report: Strengths
- Flashes good accuracy to all levels of the field and has the arm strength to make every requisite NFL throw.
- Possesses an NFL arm. Gets the ball from one hash to the opposite sideline in a hurry. Has the zip to hit tight windows on short and intermediate throws.
- Ball placement is a strength. Card has the natural instincts to make plays when forced to improvise.
- Possesses a strong arm and is capable of making every NFL throw easily. Can drive the deep out to the sideline from the opposite hash and has no problem threading the needle between closing defenders. Easily zips to all areas of the field, demonstrating very good touch on underneath routes to running backs and receivers, as well as down the sideline on deep passes.
- Good accuracy overall, including excellent accuracy on short timing routes to backs and receivers, placing the ball slightly in front to lead receivers to potential yardage after the catch.
- Sees the field very well when the play breaks down and occasionally changes plays at the line.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- His arm strength is decent but less than ideal; Card lacks a little zip, and accuracy becomes an issue when he’s unable or unwilling to set his feet.
- Undersized and short in stature - looks diminutive in the huddle.
- Has a way to go in terms of being able to process coverages and run a multi-progression passing game.
