efficient veteran QB with real vertical touch
Shapen is a seasoned Mississippi State quarterback who combines quick processing, solid accuracy, and enough arm talent to push the ball downfield, as shown by his 2025 season line of 2,239 passing yards, 15 touchdowns, and 6 interceptions.[8] He also brings value as a scrambler, but his overall rushing grade has lagged behind his passing production.[1] What makes him stand out is resilience: he returned after a season-ending shoulder injury in the prior year and immediately resumed starting-caliber production, which matters for teams needing an experienced, calm, low-drama leader under center.[16][12]
