At a listed 6-foot-1 and 195 pounds, Zammit is a good presence in the pocket. He has quick feet and steps up well, buying him time when pressure comes in off the edge.

His arm strength is impressive. So to is his ability to improvise in the pocket.
He will be attending the Under Armour camp on May 5 when it comes to New Jersey.
