summary
summary
Joe Fagnano is an experienced, pocket-oriented quarterback with strong size, toughness, and play-action efficiency. At 6'3", 225 lbs, Fagnano carries a solid NFL frame and operates comfortably from within the structure of traditional passing concepts.
A multi-year starter at UConn, he has shown the ability to push the ball vertically off play-action while managing game flow in pro-style elements. He wins with poise, size, and decision-making more than dynamic athleticism or elite arm talent.
Durability history and top-end velocity will be key evaluation points, but his experience and composure give him developmental backup potential at the NFL level.
