PLAYSTYLE AND SCHEME FIT

O'Connell's skill set suggests that he would be best suited for a pro-style offense that emphasizes accuracy, timing, and the ability to make plays down the field. While he may not be a dual-threat quarterback, his arm talent and ability to deliver the ball with precision make him a quarterback to keep an eye on at the next level.

PASS GAME ANALYSIS

RUN GAME ANALYSIS

FINAL REPORT

Aidan O'Connell has shown good accuracy, decision making, and pocket presence as a quarterback, but will need to continue to develop his skills and adjust to the speed of the NFL game. He lacks elite arm strength and athleticism, which may limit his potential at the next level. He is likely a late-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, but could develop into a solid backup or potentially a low-end starter with the right coaching and development. His accuracy and decision making make him an intriguing prospect, but he will need to continue to work on his arm strength and athleticism in order to maximize his potential.
