I think that was the most impressive. Under control, leadership, confidence all shined through in his first start
That and the accuracy. If you showed me the pocket stats alone after the game, I would have assumed that DJ was spraying it all over the place.
I think through college he could always put it where he needed to be just had so many drops and WR not in right place that hurt him.
What jumped out was obviously his athleticism (I knew he could move but for a guy his size) he’s sneaky fast too. Caught a few bucs out of position thinking they could close the gap but couldn’t.
Also a knock pre draft was his arm strength. My initial thoughts is wtf were people watching. Dude throws a beautiful deep ball! He also takes enough chances which truly was Eli downfall in that he didn’t trust the o-line anymore and would let plays develop. Eli always would check down before letting play develop maybe it’s that DJ is young and willing to take a hit but dude stayed strong in the pocket under some big pressure all game.
