The Mitch Trubisky hype train is gaining some serious traction over the past few weeks. The North Carolina Tar Heels quarterback has been playing at an extremely high level all season, and the tape is showing that he could be a legitimate NFL QB.

Trubisky has been completing over 70 percent of his passes with 22 touchdowns compared to just four interceptions. He’s able to do this because his ball placement is incredibly consistent and he does a good job of going through his reads to find the open man.

He’s not the most athletic guy, but Trubisky does have some really good pocket awareness to avoid pressure in the pocket. The biggest concern is with Trubisky’s deep ball. He doesn’t have the strongest arm and he struggles to hit guys deep in stride consistently.

Still, Trubisky has a solid 6’3”, 220-pound frame with the awareness and ball placement to be a starting quarterback.
