Ryan Mallett throws a nice long ball and leads his receivers well.

Ryan Mallet Scouting Report -- 6/19/2006
Ryan Mallett probably the strongest arm and most velocity of any high school QB in the nation. Ryan Mallett overpower receivers on short throws and must continue to improve on touch. Puts too much air under his deep throws, but can throw it out of the park. Ryan Mallett tendency to throw off back foot, but has enough arm strength to get away with it. Good footwork for a 6-foot-7 kid and with his huge hands, is ideally suited for Michigan’s style of QB play. Tough, can stand in there vs. the rush. Ryan Mallett make all the throws."
