The Rest

  • Taysom Hill (BYU)
  • Wes Lunt (Illinois)
  • Trevor Knight (Texas A&M)
  • Sefo Liufau (Colorado)
  • Nick Mullens (Southern Miss)
  • Peter Pujals (Holy Cross)
  • Greg Ward Jr. (Houston)

This group is generally made up of smaller school quarterbacks who either had productive seasons or feature skill sets that are at least intriguing to NFL scouts and coaches. Greg Ward Jr. had some impressive games for Houston in 2016 but at 5’11” with a limited arm teams may be looking to take advantage of his athleticism in other ways. The same goes for Taysom Hill of BYU who was by far a better runner than a passer.

Wes Lunt has an NFL body and showed periodic flashes of capable play at Illinois but struggled with constant scheme changes and lacking protection. Nick Mullens is an undersized passer out of Southern Mississippi who had some big games against decent teams. Trevor Knight was a successful mobile quarterback at Oklahoma before transferring to Texas A&M where he struggled with consistency.
