It has never been tougher for talent scouts and fans alike to judge which players will graduate from the NCAA into the NFL, with college seasons and schedules being badly interrupted in 2020, and some players opting out altogether where others are plowing ahead regardless.
One thing is for sure, though, and that is come the spring NFL teams will be hungry to bolster their rosters with fresh draft picks.
In this article we look at which QBs are still being viewed as the golden geese who could wing their way into an ailing franchise and turn its fortunes around in the blink of an eye.
Which players will brave the cold winter ahead and earn themselves a lucrative NFL contract in the spring?
A little COVID positive test aside at the start of the new NCAA season, Trevor Lawrence has been destined for a berth in an NFL line-up almost as soon as college coaches saw him toss a football.
Not only that, but he is a throwback player who already has his life in order and wears his long blonde locks with pride. One of the sure-fire NFL picks for the future will be that Lawrence becomes the new Jo Burrow, cementing his place as the number 1 NFL Draft pick. It is just a shame that this will probably mean he will end up with a struggling team rather than a franchise that can truly harness his potential.
Injuries notwithstanding, most of these prospects should secure NFL contracts in 2021
Certainly not many people were singing the praises of Kyle Trask before the start of the college season, but all that has changed after he broke records for the Gators, including racking up a rather impressive five consecutive games with four or more touchdown passes.
All of a sudden Trask’s name is being pencilled in at the top of many scouts’ power rankings, especially if they want a quarterback who has proven he has the ability to learn quickly on the job.
In the SEC, is it Kyle Trask or Mac Jones?
Mac Jones’ performances have been nothing short of superhuman this term, with the Crimson Tide’s main man, at the time of writing, having thrown a whopping sixteen touchdowns while only being picked off twice.
