Sam Leavitt's Growth is Focal Point of Camp Tontozona

"Sam's going to play on Sundays. There is zero doubt in my mind. Sam's an NFL player...He's going to be the face of Sun Devil football. Everyone wants to talk about me. I suck if I don't have a quarterback."

While those who have seen Leavitt in action on a frequent basis see the foundation that is in place, it would be nice to see some potential questions get shored up and strengths that get expanded on over the course of this week.

Areas to Watch for Leavitt

• Slight mechanical kinks - namely footwork.

• How long Leavitt holds onto the ball. The field general stayed in the pocket too long at times in his freshman season.

• How the QB navigates having more freedom in year two of having Marcus Arroyo at OC. Dillingham has stressed the idea of making life easier for Leavitt in terms of down and distance compared to last season.

Areas Where Leavitt has Potential to Reach Elite Status in

• Leavitt's arm talent can reach another level. He already possesses an NFL arm based off of pure strength, but the addition of Jaren Hamilton has potential to push the former even further when it comes to making throws at different angles, slots, etc.

• Leavitt's athleticism is natural and borderline great for a quarterback - there is world where his dual threat capabilities are untapped with more zone reads and designed runs in Arroyo's offense.

• Leavitt's ability to avoid disastrous plays was huge in the Arizona State offense last season. That will likely only improve as the continuity continues to grow over the next three months.
