2023 Guide: What Ourlads’ NFL Scouting Services said about DORIAN THOMPSON-ROBINSON:
UCLA | H: 6014 W: 191 40: 4.51 A: 3058 H: 0978 W: 7434
Four-year starter, Las Vegas, NV. Three-time All-Pac 12 honoree. Turned his back to the NFL after a strong 2021 season where he led the conference in several passing metrics, including total touchdowns and yards per game. Left his mark on the UCLA program, leaving as the all-time leader in total offense, passing yards, completions, and touchdowns. Over the course of 40 career starts he scored 116 times. This is a dynamic and versatile threat that plays the game with unshakeable passion and toughness. There is a competitive juice to his game that very few can match and if channeled correctly, it can elevate his game. He fits in well with what the league wants out of its quarterbacks. There will be plenty to work on both as a passer and reader of the defense, but the traits are worth a day three gamble. Twitchy, explosive, and fast at all times. Can slip a switch and get by and away from defenders in a blink. Loose, but stable lower half enables him to get through traffic in a hurry. Hits his top gear swiftly. Quiet, calm feet as a drop-back passer. Keeps the heels attached to the ground as he goes through the reads. Creates tremendous torque from his lower half. Can put the ball on a rope and make lengthy throws. Layers the ball to all levels. Understands touch and timing. Gets the ball out in a hurry and pairs that with a lightning-quick release. Needs to constantly check his emotions and make sure they are channeled correctly. Gets reckless with decision making. Will rush his throws, creating erratic ball placement. Needs more discipline in his game and this comes after starting 40 times in college. Could use more meat on his bones. An athletic, high-powered thrower who can make all the plays both as a runner and passer if he stays on a disciplined path.
