It’s officially summer scouting time and we at The Draft Network are hard at work diving into tape of some potential prospects for the 2023 NFL Draft. It’s an exciting time of the year as we get to familiarize ourselves with the best talent college football has to offer and see which players we should be keeping an eye on when the college football season rolls around.
Haener improved upon his first year and quickly emerged as one of the best quarterbacks in the country last season. He threw for 4,096 yards, 33 touchdowns against just nine interceptions, while also completing 67.1% of his passes. He led the Bulldogs to a 10-3 record with an impressive win over power-five school UCLA. Haener had developed many fans in the national media and even in the NFL where scouts and general managers appreciated the way Haener played the game.
I recently dove into Haener’s tape and came away very impressed. Haener is an excellent athlete for the position and utilizes his athleticism in a variety of different ways. He is outstanding in the pocket and can slide and maneuver around pressure while keeping his eyes downfield. He uses his athleticism to escape the pocket and extend plays and he shows very good ability to complete accurate throws on the run. Haener has a tight quick release and puts good zip on the ball.
The issue for Haener as it relates to his projection to the NFL is the fact that he is listed at 6-foot-1 and just 195 pounds. His slight frame and marginal size are massive concerns and are far below average for a starting NFL quarterback. With his lack of size, injuries will be a concern for him at the next level as well as his ball security which has already been problematic in college.
Haener isn’t the only small quarterback in next year’s class that will be under scrutiny. As I mentioned above, Alabama’s Bryce Young is widely expected to be a top 10 pick and he is listed at just 6-foot and 194 pounds – almost the same size as Haener. While I am not saying that Haener is as talented of a passer as Young, I just believe that their talent is close enough that if Young is a top 10 pick, Haener should at worst go in round two.
