Last season was a break through year for Garrard. At six-foot-one, he’s a tad short for a NFL quarterback. But at 240 pounds, he does offer a fine frame. He has a strong and accurate arm and can make all of the necessary NFL throws. In 2007, he upped his game substantially, regarding decision-making, accuracy and consistent play. He shows good management skills. Garrard is not the most mobile quarterback and must continue to become more patient in the pocket.
