2007 Scouting Report - Scouts Inc.
#5 Bruce Gradkowski | QB
Full Name: Bruce Raymond Gradkowski
Born: January 27, 1983
Pittsburgh, PA
Height: 6-1
Weight: 222 lbs.
Comment: Gradkowski is an above average athlete that is height deficient for the QB position. He finished the season with a 65.9 QB rating. He is a tough, competitive player. He displays good pocket toughness. He has an above average arm with a quick release. He flashes the ability to make all the throws in the passing game but lacks the big time vertical arm to stretch the field. He has good quickness away from the center with above average pocket awareness. He can slide and buy time in the pocket but does struggle to find passing windows due to his lack of height. He does show the ability to process information but doesn't always make the right decisions. He can throw in rhythm with above average accuracy in the short and intermediate areas in the passing game. He is a streak player that needs a strong running game behind him to enhance his abilities in the pocket. However, he will force throws into tight coverage and doesn't always hit targets in stride. He does show the ability to attack the edges while throwing on the move. He does have the ability to scramble and makes plays with his feet. Overall, Gradkowski gained valuable experience this past season in replacing the injured Chris Simms. However, he is best suited as a backup player on the NFL level.
