Christian Hackenberg
Rating Yards TD
123.9 2525 16
Team: Penn State Nittany Lions Height: 6-4 Born: 2/14/1995
Position: QB Weight: 228 Hometown: Palmyra, Virginia
Class-Eligibility: Jr-Jr
Scouting Report
Hackenberg arrived at Penn State as one of the most highly touted recruits in school history and leaves as the program's all-time leader in passing yards (8,457), passing touchdowns (48) and completions (693). Yet somehow he never quite lived up to expectations and enters as one of the bigger question marks in the draft. Hackenberg has terrific size and a strong arm and looked like he would be a future franchise quarterback after throwing for 2,955 yards with 20 touchdowns to 10 interceptions as a freshman in 2013. His production, however, decreased dramatically over the next two seasons, as he totaled 32 TDs and 25 picks while completing 57.2 percent of his passes. Some of that has to do with the change of head coaches after Bill O'Brien moved to the NFL after his freshman year and was replaced by James Franklin. Hackenberg reportedly blamed Franklin for his struggles during interviews with NFL teams, an immature move for someone who is expected to be in a leadership position. Another reason for his inconsistent play over the past two seasons was due to playing behind a subpar offensive line. He was constantly under duress, and his 103 sacks were the most in the FBS over the past three seasons. He didn't quell any concerns at the NFL scouting combine, where he had an uneven performance in the drills. He displayed excellent zip on some passes but failed to show much touch on others, badly overthrowing receivers. Hackenberg was much more efficient at Penn State's pro day a few weeks later, though, reportedly completing 21 consecutive passes. For obvious reasons, he's frequently been compared to the Bears' Jay Cutler - a big-arm quarterback who has played behind shoddy O-lines and not been able to put it all together. Cutler was the 11th pick of the 2006 draft, and while it's conceivable Hackenberg could be selected in the first round, it's also possible he could fall to one of the middle rounds.
