Anthony Gordon, Washington State
Gordon could be an option for the Colts in the third round if they chose to attack other needs early on. Coming from the air-it-out offense under Mike Leach at Washington State, Gordon had eye-popping numbers, but he is also a project that will take some time to develop. Possessing fantastic leadership skills, work ethic and drive, he’s the kind of player that will be refused to be denied no matter how many failures that he experienced previously.
Huge credit to his success in the Air Raid offense is how quickly he’s able to get rid of the ball. Slight side steps, shoulder turns, and body bends to cancel out pressure was frequent on film and he’s also able to make throws on the run. Gordon doesn’t possess an overly strong arm to consistently attack the deeper areas of the field. Most of his wins and impressive throws will come within the structure of the pocket.
