Nick Fitzgerald is the best running QB in SEC History. He just broke Tim Tebow's rushing record and he broke MSU's rushing TD record held by our former RB who actually led the SEC in rushing the year that Mark Ingram for Bama won the Heisman.

Fitz is a less accurate Lamar Jackson. He is 6'5" 230-240 lb but probably runs a 4.5-4.6. Prior to his ankle injury in the last regular season game in 2017, he was pretty much fast enough to never get caught from behind but strong enough to drag LBs for an extra 5 yards after contact. He has a cannon for an arm but that might lead to as many issues as it benefits him. He is just as liable to overthrow someone 60 yards downfield as actually complete the pass. He doesn't really have touch on the ball so his completion percentage isn't great. He also doesn't read defenses very quickly. He rarely throws to the checkdown man even if he is wide open. He would more often throw into double coverage or just run (we prefer that he run).
