PLAYER SUMMARY
Jaidan Delaune is a 6’2”, 193-pound quarterback who plays with a quick release, solid velocity, and the ability to operate with timing, touch, and anticipation. He shows poise in the pocket, functional mobility to extend plays, and physical toughness as a runner.

TRAIT EVALUATION
Movement Skills
Displays functional acceleration to escape pressure and extend plays. Moves fluidly outside the pocket while maintaining balance when resetting his base. Shows effective change of direction in space and enough athletic ability to threaten as a runner when plays break down.
Physicality
Competitive and physical runner who consistently finishes plays. Shows strong contact balance and the ability to stay upright through arm tackles. Not a power runner, but plays with physical intent and absorbs contact well as both a runner and passer.
Football Intelligence
Strong pre snap processor who identifies coverage structure and defensive leverage. Operates with timing and anticipation when protected. Maintains downfield vision under pressure and shows discipline in progression reads within a spread system.
STRENGTHS
Quick release with strong short-to-intermediate velocity. Poised pocket presence with calm feet and effective movement under pressure. Functional mobility with on the run accuracy. Competitive toughness and leadership traits as a physical runner and decision maker.
AREAS FOR DEVELOPMENT
Deep ball consistency needs improvement due to occasional floating trajectory and reduced drive. Off schedule mechanics can break down when structure collapses. Base width and lower body stability can narrow on deeper throws impacting consistency.
INTANGIBLES
Motor / Effort Level: High effort player who consistently extends plays and finishes runs even when structure breaks down. Maintains urgency without rushing decision making.
Competitiveness: Strong competitive toughness, willing to stand in the pocket, absorb contact, and maintain downfield vision. Plays with confident leadership presence and physical intent.
OVERALL EVALUATION
Poised timing based quarterback with quick release, functional mobility, and strong anticipatory passing ability. Shows leadership traits, toughness, and consistency within structure with developmental upside as he improves deep ball consistency and progression speed. Projects as a long term FCS or Group of Five level quarterback with continued development.
