Skills a Quarterback Needs to Succeed in American Football

By Howie Long and John Czarnecki from Football For Dummies, 4th US Edition

When scouts or coaches examine a quarterback’s potential to play in the NFL, they run down a checklist of physical, mental, and personality traits that affect a quarterback’s success on the field. The following list gives the main criteria necessary to excel. If a quarterback has five of these seven traits, he undoubtedly ranks among the top 15 players at his position:

Arm strength: Velocity is important when throwing a football

Competitiveness: A player’s competitiveness is made up of many subjective and intangible qualities. A quarterback should have the desire to be the team’s offensive leader and, ideally, overall leader. No one should work harder in practice than he does.

Intelligence: Many NFL teams have a 3-inch-thick playbook

Mobility: A quarterback’s mobility is as important as his intelligence and his arm.

Release: If a quarterback doesn’t have exceptional arm strength, he’d better have a quick release.

Height: A quarterback wants to be tall enough to see over his linemen — whose average height in the NFL is 6’5” to 6’7” —

Weight: A quarterback can expect a lot of physical contact, especially when attempting to pass.

Vision: A quarterback doesn’t necessarily need keen peripheral vision, but it doesn’t hurt. A quarterback must quickly scan the field when he comes to the line of scrimmage prior to the snap of the ball.
