PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT
Sam Leavitt is a modern, quick-trigger passer with dual-threat functionality who thrives in spread systems, especially those with designed QB runs and layered passing concepts. His blend of poise, athleticism, and ball security (1.1% turnover-worthy play rate) was crucial to Arizona State's 2024 breakout. Leavitt reads defenses well pre-snap and attacks with confidence and control, particularly in rhythm-based concepts. While his intermediate placement and post-snap processing still show inconsistencies, his play style and tools are ideal for NFL offenses modeled after Kyle Shanahan or Kevin O’Connell schemes. With more time to mature, Leavitt has late 1st-round 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.
