Draft Scouting Report
Rating: 61.40 (Role player)
Pro Comparison: Pat White
Summary:
Malik Cunningham is an athletic quarterback who stresses opponents on the ground. He has good vision, burst and top-end speed, which allows him to elude defenders in open space. As a quarterback, his potential is limited because he lacks ideal size and does not have the deep ball accuracy necessary to succeed.
Strengths:
- Great top-end speed
- More of a ground threat
- Elusive in open space
- Good vision as a runner
Weaknesses:
- Below-average size
- Deep ball accuracy is below average
- Looks to run too early

Patriots' Malik Cunningham: Signs with New England
The Patriots confirmed the signing of Cunningham as an undrafted free agent Friday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Cunningham bolsters the depth of a New England QB corps that also includes Mac Jones, Bailey Zappe and Trace McSorley. In that context, the Louisville product could have a hard time making the team's initial regular-season roster, but Cunningham does give the Patriots a dual-threat option to evaluate this summer, and if he doesn't make the cut, the 6-foot, 192-pounder is a candidate to land on New England's practice squad.

Malik Cunningham: Heading to New England
Cunningham is expected to sign with the Patriots as an undrafted free agent, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Cunningham played 10 games for Louisville last season, completing 62.4 percent of his passes for eight touchdowns and five interceptions while adding 565 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns on 114 carries. His 120 total touchdowns over five seasons with Louisville broke the school record previously owned by Lamar Jackson. While undersized and inconsistent with his throwing mechanics, he is an instinctive athlete with natural running ability that will help him compete at the NFL level.
