Freakish speed for a quarterback. Excellent scrambler and play-maker outside the pocket.
Good arm in the pocket, but he will need to continue to develop his patience and stay in the pocket at the next level.
Hes certainly a dual-threat guy, but at his current stage of development, when compared to other throwing QBs, he is an average passer. However, he has the talent to become a very good passing QB. With continued development as an in-the-pocket passer he is a power conference level quarterback and again, possesses rare running ability.
It is difficult to say whether he can be elite or not yet. The current film doesnt reveal elite. And elite depends on focus and accuracy. However the potential to be very good is there. You can see that level of potential on film. Its too early to discount his ability to be elite, but with the information available to me currently, I cannot say that.
The next question I asked was very speculative and probably a really difficult question for even a former NFL scout to answer. I asked if Torrance appeared to have the tools to become a 1st round QB. It is possible. Like most he will need physical development in terms of bulk, as well as passing development. He does not have to read defenses much in his current offense, so only time will tell whether he has the capacity and the work ethic to do so. In my experience not many players develop the mental savvy to be 1st rounders, so in that sense its very hard predict.
Lastly, I wanted to know what scheme Chris felt would be best for Torrance in order to improve his chances of being a high draft pick as a QB. If we are talking strictly about down-the-road NFL goals, then he needs time in a pass first, spread offense. But one in which the coaches give him the green light to run. If he is in a run first, spread scheme he will win a lot of college games, but will still need more work to reach those lofty NFL goals.
