He's probably worried about the old school NFL guidelines for QB measurables.
For QBs:
Height 6'2" or taller
Hands 9 1/2 " or longer
Weight 200+ LBS or heaver.
I suspect JD is under 200 lbs.
You can see he has the height. He's a brother so you know he has big hands. a 195 lb weigh in might be a red flag for some teams.
Fortunately teams don't seem hung up on this.
Bryce Young is under 6' and Burrow has girly hands.
JD can bulk up easily. You just can't hit QBs like you used to so I don't think it matters.
i agree but i also say he is not going be great at shrugging off defenders in the pocket; like say a big ben or josh allen type; maye be better suited for that
still i am jd fan

I have no reservations about drafting Jayden Daniels. He is a stud and I want him to be our QB.

Why would he not? Seems counter productive with all the positive spin around him.

he could have pulled a kyler murray . . . he gained 25 pounds for the combine weigh in . . . was up to 205 . . . but wouldn't run the 40 at that weight. then he dumped that weight as quickly as possible, but would not weigh in at his pro day and instead ran the 40 that day. very deceitful!! he is such a POS!!

I’ve heard rumors Caleb Williams does not want to play in Chicago.
Caleb and Jayden both said they like Washington’s coaching staff, especially since Caleb has a history with OC Klngsbury.
So this video was interesting in that could he be trying to get out of the #1 slot Chicago?

One thing you don’t hear at all is “who is the no 1 QB” on the board.
There is zero doubt Williams is much better prospect than JD.
JD seriously flawed like most QB prospects, but his weight should be a major concern.

Even CW is not a HR at QB.. Its a crapshoot anymore.
I do agree that JD5 is skinny as hell and he better bulk up for the next level

I remain in the Maye camp but after watching more of his games his speed concerns me. Sure he is mobile in space, but when he needs to escape defenders he is routinely caught by them. Many of them are not taking angles, they are going straight towards the sidelines and Drake can't turn the corner.

Burrow , Herbert , Tua , Stroud all in the same boat but all big time QBs... I'm not too worried about his speed TBH.. I think he'll be ok

And those are the types of QBs I prefer. But Maye has to able to throw it like they do at the next level and that remains to be seen. I just wish he had the speed of say Daniel Jones (who I hate as a player). Or Hell even Brock Purdy who I saw beat defenders to the edge as well.

I have been on the Maye train all along. I much prefer a pocket passer because the team that wins the Super Bowl has a really good pocket passer nearly every time.
I have been watching Maye's full games, the first few I kept trying to convince myself that he could be like Ben Rothlisberger. But after watching 6-7 games now I just don't see anything that would make me believe he will be special. He does not escape traffic in the pocket nearly as well as the more athletic QBs, his footspeed I also have to question. He got a lot of rushing yards in the open field but when he needs to beat a defender to the edge he struggles. His passing is good but nothing close to elite.
I think the odds are far better that he ends up somewhere between Blake Bortels and David Carr than he ends up as an elite QB. If you are going to take a swing take a big swing on a guy who could be great, and I no longer believe that is Drake Maye.
