| Strengths | Ainge is a very accurate 4-year starter in the grueling SEC although major injuries limited his time; has prototypical size and fits well as a drop-back pocket passer; better arm than he lets on and can fire it with zip when called for; intelligent with the ball, reads defenses well, a good game manager; good play action faker and passer; good leader with a calming confidence; excels at throwing intermediate routes and putting the ball where only his receiver can make a play.
|
| Weaknesses | He has had serious knee and finger injuries, and his athleticism is impacted by the knee; doesn’t move really well or look comfortable moving, loses zip when throwing on the move and outside the pocket; needs to improve velocity on shorter routes, tends to baby the ball.
