The Falcoholic on Jack Strand
From the article
Strand looked like he belonged...The numbers won't stick out at you — the Minnesota State-Moorhead alum went 6/12 with 50 yards and no touchdowns through the air — but the most impressive throws of the night from an Atlanta signal caller were a couple of his incompletions...Strand exhibited NFL level arm talent when he was allowed to rip it, and he utilized his big body multiple times to successfully convert short yardage QB sneaks, including one from a yard out which represented Atlanta's only score of the night.
STACKED’s take
Strand's arm talent and execution suggest elite preseason debut potential despite modest stats.
Undrafted rookie quarterback showed the best performance of any Falcons signal caller in preseason Week 1 despite modest raw stats (6/12, 50 yards). Exhibited NFL-level arm talent with multiple impressive incompletions—a perfectly placed deep shot to Vinny Anthony against double coverage that would have been a 38-yard touchdown, and a laser beam to Kristian Wilkerson that nearly went for 56 yards before Sean Fresch deflected it. Successfully converted short-yardage QB sneaks with his big body, including a 1-yard sneak for Atlanta's only touchdown. The source notes that if those two incompletions had been completed, it would have been an elite preseason debut. Strand is competing to become a rare undrafted rookie to make the 53-man roster.
