Ian Book
Beats you with his legs when the pocket breaks down. Fourth year in the Notre Dame quarterback room. 2020 brought the first one: All-ACC. A game that shows it: 312 passing yards and 40 rushing yards against Pittsburgh — Week 8, 2020.
Play style
Dangerous with both arm and legs — defenses can't just pin the ears back.

Where completions land is fact — whether incompletions were aimed deep is intent, not recorded here, so this card counts completions only. checkdown by design
