hey what's up everyone morey croson here and we have a brand new breakdown for you
today it's gonna be on quinn ewers the number one
quarterback in the 2022 class i'm going to start the video right now
all right so we've gotten a couple people that have reached out and asked about
getting a breakdown on quinn ewers so i thought i would go ahead and do that
obviously many of you guys know he's committed to ohio state already just has
a you know ton of potential and so you know i thought i'd go ahead and do a breakdown on him
first thing that we'll do as always we'll check to see that release time so we'll go zoom in a
little bit here looks like the hand or the the front hand comes off the ball at about 833 there
right at the bottom and then when he's coming through he's releasing it at
863-ish somewhere right in there and so he's he's right at about that point three i've heard some
people talk about how he has just like an amazing release something that you know has never been
seen before or you know gets the ball out of his hand super quick point three is is really good
especially for a high school athlete but it is something that we we've definitely seen before
so that is a you know possibility but um you know just to be able to do that at such a young age is
really really impressive i do want to say you know looking here he does a great job of really
creating a good amount of extra rotation notice what he does with the wrist here guys so you know
because i see this all the time where people go back and then they end up just allowing that wrist
to carry so far back instead of creating rotation you can see once he gets to this this point where
he's loaded within the shoulder he does a great job of really firing through with the elbow
he ends up getting a little bit of kind of a valgus motion or a valgus movement going on we
also kind of see that with like patrick mahomes as well where they almost just have so much
mobility within the joints and the elbow that they're able to get a little bit extra almost
external rotation within the arm which will help in generating some extra force there i'll go and
do some some exercises to be able to show you guys how you can actually develop that as well
so uh here's another really good video here just because you can see when he's stepping here
notice what he does with his front foot right he's stepping out and towards us he's not coming across
or not going to side to side at all with the foot when he lands he's got a lot of stability within
that front foot but notice also the disassociation so he's really creating a lot of hip rotation
there and keeping that front part of the body and the upper part of the body kind of closed off
right so that disassociation is getting those hips to go and open up while the upper body is staying
closed and then he really uses the hips to really lead to the throw this one he allows that ball
to kind of get away from him a little bit more right so he's really doing a good job of keeping
everything pretty close within the body but then because the ball gets up in a little bit away
he ends up kind of allowing that ball to go high kind of floats on him a little bit
i will say when he comes down though he's got great wrist flexibility so he has a really really
good wrist flick as he's finishing through but again that ball just ended up kind of sailing on
him just because of the position of the arm as it was releasing here we're going to see
another really good example of just being able to really drive off that back leg right so notice how
he really pushes and gets that external rotation going on and even though this is a deeper throw
he still has his weight back right here right so he loads and he still has plenty of weight back so
then as he drives the elbow through he's able to continue to have momentum to come forward within
that lower body he's also creating a great amount of external rotation in that arm right this ends
up being really really critical if we look to see when he's how he's loading and when he's loading
he has plenty of range of motion in that that shoulder and that's again where a lot of
elbow range motion and shoulder range of motion are so important when it comes to velocity
as a quarterback and really any type of thrower but you know especially i know a lot of you guys
are quarterbacks watching right now um but but seeing how much external rotation he has right
there so he's driving that elbow through ball's still staying back i mean he's rotating with the
ball to make it so the nose of the football is coming through but he also does a good job kind
of keeping it back so then when he releases it he's able to release it high and also is able
to put a lot of extra kind of wrist flick and lat activation through it so this kind of release is
definitely not what i see with a lot of breakdowns right when a lot of people send in their videos
i'm much more commonly seeing you know not near as much external rotation and guys that are almost
releasing the ball in in like this area right so the ball is already coming out of their hands not
very many guys are able to you know get the ball into this position and then come down and through
on it right so i know right here it's about to leave his hand hasn't left his hands yet
and that flick that he gets right there really helps in being able to generate that that spin
and that rotational force on the football which really makes a big difference they talk about
spin rate a lot i think more so in baseball but you know it's also an important thing in football
as well with the the spiral and being able to create a really good spin rate and some people do
they do like you know aaron rodgers is known for having a really good spin rate as well
and you know you can definitely see that a great view of just being able to see how much range of
motion he has in the shoulder right and we work on this guys within the program we work on being able
to create that external rotation typically you just use a kettlebell and be able to allow that
that kettlebell to kind of drop the arm back to be able to create that range there you know he
definitely wants to be able to maintain good core activation to be able to make sure he doesn't end
up having any lower back issues you know he does have some chance of having that and i would also
say that he does have an issue with sometimes allowing that ball to get too far away from him
which impacts the accuracy but in terms of you know overall throwing power throwing velocity has
plenty of that he just wants to be able to make sure he can stay healthy overall within the body
and also make sure that he can get more accurate as he continues to move forward obviously again i
mean he's not even done with high school yet so he still has things to improve of course um but you
know in terms of somebody that is really set up to have a lot of success he's also has a lot of the
key fundamentals that are super important some of these things that we have to teach a lot external
rotation being able to push off that back leg being able to create the disassociation within the
hips and the upper body uh being able to naturally utilize that wrist so the ball doesn't get back
behind the head right a lot of those things end up being what i end up having to teach with athletes
because you know they're not getting a great understanding of how to do those things and then
you know from there you have to then take you know more steps more steps be able to make you know
greater gains on top of those kind of fundamentals there but you know most importantly is being able
to first get you know like i said the ability to push off the back leg the ability to create
good rotation out of that that front foot and you know have a good front step right look at how far
the step is it's not like it's really close to his body he's taking a good solid step so that all of
his weight's coming through the throw and rotating through as he's finishing good front arm good
finish with that that throwing arm you know so there's a lot of things that he does really well
and which is why he's you know the top prospect and the number one overall quarterback right um
but as always we want us to be able to see some of the things that he can continue to improve and not
to say that the back ends up being something that he needs to improve it's just something
that as you know time goes on you just want to maintain strength there within that lower back
you know doing broad jumps doing different type of hip extension exercises doing different types
of like superman type stuff that will all make it so he can maintain stability within the lower back
as well as doing like planks and things like that just to keep the core nice and long and nice and
uh strong too so you know that ends up being the breakdown here on quinn ewers definitely one of
the top prospects and for his age somebody that you know is going to flourish just because he has
so many great fundamentals already set up with a 0.3 uh release time as well i mean that's really
really great for you know especially somebody that is only a junior high school right now so
as always guys thanks for watching the video if you like the information go ahead and click that
thumbs up down below that really helps us out a ton subscribe the channel if you haven't already
and if any questions comments recommendations you can leave those down below and then i also highly
recommend you guys checking out the description down below we have a couple free things that we
have we have a free ebook as well as a free seven day trial to our throw program and the big thing
that i've been pushing lately is the zoom sessions just because it is super super effective to be
able to actually meet with the 30 minute zoom session it's going to be me and you going over
your throat seeing what are some of the key things that we need to work on i actually record you as
you're throwing so then i can actually you know break it down real time right in front of you show
you exactly what it is that we need to to improve we need to tweak and then you go back and try to
work on those throws or i could give you some drills to do right there you know just to really
be able to work out some of the kinks and then after we go through the actual zoom session i'll
give you drills i'll give you exercises i'll give you things to be able to work on and then you also
have access to the recording so you can take that information and utilize it for the next few weeks
and so it is a great tool to be able to make some big improvements within your mechanics quickly and
that's all what i'm all about is being able to make the most amount of improvement as fast as
possible and i think that you can't do it in a better way than doing one of those zoom sessions
you know obviously you can do the breakdown if you do the three month program which is down below you
get access to those zoom sessions with that and so obviously highly recommend that that's just going
to be three months of being able to get that same type of individualized training you just also get
workout programs and directory programs you get some custom videos for you as well so you get more
when you do the three-month program but you know if you just want to do a zoom session if you're
just looking for some quick fixes or something like that you can go ahead and sign up with that
down below in the description as always if you have questions or anything like that i also have
my contact information in the description so again guys thanks for watching if you're still
watching right now go ahead and click that thumbs up that we have a side of time talk to you soon
