Ball velocity numbers (MPH) from the Combine:

60 - Mahomes

59 - Webb

56 - Kizer

55 - Trubisky, Evans

53 - Peterman, Kaaya

49 - Watson

That's alarming for Watson considering only Tyrod has found any success in the NFL since 2008 with a velocity under 55 w/o injury in play

For combine velocity measurement for QBs remember this. Over 55 mph doesnt guarantee success, but under it pretty much guarantees failure

If you choose to ignore QB velocity, not your thing, that's fine. Teams take it VERY seriously.

 


 

 

2 MPH on a 20 yard pass = 3 feet of difference which is obviously big in NFL window measurements. Watson being 6 MPH under the threshold is a big deal. That's a lot of history that Watson needs to buck to even become a serviceable QB.
