Instincts: Flashes vision from the pocket and is capable of distributing the ball decisively in quick-game concepts. Solid awareness and feel for pressure. Instinctive to create when pocket breaks down. Good awareness on the second level as a runner.

Polish: Versatile player who can fulfill various roles. Has to refine throwing mechanics, as he has a tendency to allow ball to dip below his waist when throwing. Also needs to improve consistency of lower-half mechanics.

Bottom Line: Woolfolk is a dual-sport athlete who has had success on the baseball diamond and the football field. Though he has some mechanical nuances to improve as a quarterback, he presents himself as a solid dual-threat signal-caller with smooth athleticism. If things do not work out for him behind center, Woolfolk can still possibly impact a roster at several other positions.
