"As a pocket passer, Winston is extraordinary. He is phenomenal in the pocket and can carve up a defense. Winston has very good field vision and does a superb job of scanning the field while working through his progressions. It is an innate ability that Winston has displayed from the very beginning of his tenure as a starter, and it is extremely rare to see in a college quarterback. He hangs tough in the face of the pass rush, steps into throws when he's going to get hit, and moves well in the pocket while keeping his eyes downfield." - Charlie Campbell, WalterFootball.com

 "He’s confident and level headed (on the field), seemingly improving after a drive that ends in a turnover and showing a willingness to take 'controlled chances' down the field and from the pocket.  And while his accuracy outside the hashes and vertically on secondary reads don’t have ideal placement, his ability to spin a tight ball, finish throws in the mid-range, and control his velocity to allow for catchable balls across the field is what NFL teams want in a young quarterback." - Eric Galko, SportingNews
