Scouting Report: Strengths
- Very confident passer and shows good accuracy and feel when in rhythm. Showed better ball placement from past years and throws very catchable passes. Puts too much air in some of his throws and needs to show a lower trajectory on deep throws.
- Sticks throws into tight windows over the middle, throwing to spot on slant or between zone defenders before the receiver is open.
- 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.
- Dart stands tall in the pocket and has the toughness and strong build to withstand contact when Dart throws.
- While he’s not a burner, he has enough athleticism and speed to make plays with his legs when he takes off as a runner.
- Ball placement is a strength. Dart has the natural instincts to make plays when forced to improvise.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- When Dart did hang back and move on to a second or third receiver, he was slow working through his progressions.
- Because he lacks prototypical size, he will likely have issues in the pocket.
- He’s clearly more effective when on the move, and many of his reads were half-field.
