Well, one thing is for sure, young Montana inherited his fathers build and metabolism. Obviously this is a player with tremendous lineage and background, but Nick is not just living off his fathers name and just like his father he certainly is going to be a late bloomer with his best football ahead of him. He is lanky and lean with good overall, deceptive athleticism and the ability to get rid of the ball quickly both within the pocket and on the move. He has been well coached and groomed on footwork, pocket set up and balance and the importance of timing and anticipation. Possesses a calm, yet confident demeanor and appears very comfortable in this scheme which asks him to work both from under center in the three and five step passing game as well as out of the shotgun. Play-action and roll outs are prevalent and he does a nice job throwing on the move-- especially when rolling to his right. Delivery mechanics are smooth, consistent and compact. Motion starts with a low elbow and is a bit quirky, but comes out about 3/4. His carriage of the ball while dropping and cocking to throw is a bit awkward and somewhat propped up by his ear, but there is no wasted motion in his release. Throws a soft, catchable ball with just enough zip to fit the ball into tight spots if on time. Overall footwork really gives him an advantage in terms of accuracy and he does a good job leading receivers on underneath routes. Shows some surprising arm strength as a downfield passer when he plants, transfers weight and follows through properly. He possesses the mechanics to throw when off balance and just enough strength to get the ball where it needs to be, but he does not have an elite arm. If Montana's feet are not set or he is unsettled, he is not the same player in terms of accuracy and production. To get the most out of his arm, he must utilize his entire body and be mechanically sound. At times if pressured he will look flustered and lose zip and confidence in where he's going with the ball. As with Jimmy Clausen in 2007 who attended the same school we are concerned about the overall level of competition he faces each week. Overall, Montana is going to be a player that needs to be in the weightroom and add strength and bulk not only for arm strength improvements, but for durability as well. He has a late bloomers frame and the tools to really develop into a sound, competitive prospect at the next level. Best football is definitely down the road.
