Kaliakmanis earned a real developmental roster spot, which is a strong start for a seventh-round rookie. He is more pocket operator than freestyle runner, and the ball came out with better confidence late in preseason. The job now is turning that promising efficient rhythm into dependable NFL backup play.
Strengths: Pocket mobility, improved downfield touch, competitive composure, and enough arm talent to challenge defenses vertically.
Weaknesses: Still needs cleaner mechanics and has neither Daniels' running juice nor elite arm strength; regular-season reps should be limited behind two veterans.
