2021 NFL Draft Scouting Report: Malik Cunningham
December 26, 2020
Malik Cunningham is the most intriguing quarterback prospect in the 2021 NFL Draft. He has the running ability of Lamar Jackson, but he acts as a quarterback that can run, not a running back that can throw. Being part of the most unique offense arguably in the country, Cunningham is the most difficult prospect to project to the next level, as no team in the NFL has the speed that Louisville uses to overwhelm its opponents. His surprising accuracy, countered by his scheme dependent decision making, combines with his athleticism to create the most confusing projection arguably in the history of the NFL draft at the quarterback position. In the right scheme with the correct coaching, Cunningham can become a lethal Swiss army knife.
