Displays good patience and awareness in and around the pocket. Very good lateral movement, able to escape the pressure and create something on his own.

Ashton’s a very intelligent QB, able to pick up on defensive reads, and attacking their weaknesses. With more game experience, he'll continue to work well through his progressions.
