Michael Hawkins Jr. brings dual-threat juice and big-play upside at QB
Hawkins is a live-arm, dual-threat quarterback whose best trait is how he can stress a defense with both his legs and his poise on extended plays; in the 2025 season, he completed 15 of 27 passes for 167 yards and 3 touchdowns with no interceptions, while adding 58 rushing yards and a score[2][6][8]. He stands out more for mobility, competitiveness and playmaking than polished downfield volume, so he fits best with a team that can build around movement, designed runs and quick-game efficiency rather than asking him to be a pure pocket passer right away[13][16].
