Overall

Matt Corral is one of the most insane players in this class. He’s almost like a roller coaster with insane highs and even worse lows. He is a leader on the field who oozes confidence and swagger, and his play matches that. Corral plays like he is playing a pickup game in his backyard. He’s very comfortable and confident any time he drops back to pass. It shows in his gunslinger mentality: he puts full faith in his arm while attempting to attack the defense. And to his credit, his arm rarely lets him down. The mistakes he typically makes are just boneheaded passes where he either doesn’t see the defender or he throws into double or triple coverage. The plays where his arm comes through are incredibly impressive. He has a rifle for an arm that can hit anywhere on the field. However, he also has a tendency to drop his mechanics and rely purely on arm talent as he gets put under pressure. Corral has potential to be the top QB prospect in this class, which might not mean much, but regardless he’s a fun player who shows plenty of traits that you want in a franchise QB.
