Scouting Report: Strengths
- Gets the ball out quickly, making ·splitsecond decisions. Good short to intermediate level accuracy, demonstrating the ball placement to allow receivers to run after the catch.
- Picks up yards with his legs when needed.
- Generally accurate on intermediate and short throws; flashes anticipation and placement on intermediate outs and the ability to lead receivers on deeper throws.
- Sprays the ball anywhere on the field, especially when given a pocket from which to deliver. Will step up into pocket while looking downfield, reset his feet and deliver.
- He’s a pure athlete, loose-limbed and flexible. Fifita has the speed to pick up yardage in scramble situations.
- Fifita has a quick release and shows good accuracy on shorter throws when on the move to either side.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Lacks poise in the pocket and abandons his reads too quickly. Takes too many chances.
- His arm strength is decent but less than ideal; Fifita lacks a little zip, and accuracy becomes an issue when he’s unable or unwilling to set his feet.
- Too often fails to give receivers a chance to make a play after the catch. High completion percentage padded by many quick screens.
