PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT
Cade Klubnik is a dual-threat quarterback with a developmental starter profile. He has the arm talent and mobility to function in today's spread and RPO-heavy NFL schemes, especially in systems that allow off-schedule throws and read-option elements. Klubnik’s mechanics and zip give him tools to attack all levels of the field, but his decision-making and post-snap processing under pressure remain developmental red flags. He projects best into a system with layered play-action concepts where mobility can stretch defenses. If paired with a QB-friendly coordinator, he has mid-tier starting upside.
CEILING GRADE ANALYSIS
Mid-Level Starter Potential (60-64)
A solid, dependable starter with the potential to exceed expectations. They have good athleticism and tools but may lack elite traits. While they show flashes of high-level play, they also have some notable weaknesses that must be developed. These players often need 2-3 years to establish themselves.
