player. 123. Christian Hackenberg is being labeled as one of the biggest enigmas of the 2016 draft class.

What they need is one who has the talent ceiling of a starter but can sit on the bench for two years and learn behind Tony Romo, who still has something left in the tank. Under the guidance of a solid coaching staff, Hackenberg can learn all he needs to from the sideline and be ready for the passing of the torch when the time comes.</p>. QB. Penn State.
