The Post-Wheel is just one example, but that wasn't the only concept he thrived in. He made a ton of plays in their shot plays such as Four Verticals concept (which he broke down in this exceptional, must-read piece by Andy Benoit of The MMQB ), Double Post and Post-Cross. He thrived in the quick game as well, making a number of big throws in Double Slant, Slant-Flat, Stick and other notable West Coast-style concepts.

You may read this and think, 'Okay, great, he ran a pro-style offense, so what?' I warn you, however, to not take that for granted. It's rare these days to get quarterbacks who are used to working under center and running pass concepts that translate well to the NFL game. Think of the quarterbacks who have come out in recent years that have struggled out of the gate on the field. Players like Geno Smith, Johnny Manziel, Robert Griffin III, Brandon Weeden and Blaine Gabbert all struggled to process things quickly at the NFL level, and part of that may be due to the systems that they played in school where they lined up in the shotgun. The importance of lining up under center isn't just the literal act of the "center-quarterback exchange," but also how hard it is for a passer who is not used to turning his back to the defense on a play-action pass to get accustomed to that in the NFL. This is a point Greg and I touched on in this piece highlighting Wentz's pocket poise.
