2026 NFL Draft Prospects: Quarterback

2/4/25: Nussmeier spent a few seasons as the backup to Jayden Daniels and turned himself into a legit prospect for the NFL in 2024. Nussmeier completed 64 percent of his passes for 4,403 yards with 29 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. There is no doubt that Nussmeier has the arm talent to be a pro starter, as he has a powerful arm that has no issue going vertically downfield. Nussmeier is getting good pro preparation from Brian Kelly, and Nussmeier looks like an early-round prospect for the 2026 NFL Draft.

2/4/25: Manning could rise to be a top-of-the-draft prospect, but he has not played enough yet to prove that he is a high first-rounder. Manning has a good skill set with size, arm strength, and running ability. Manning has flashed his excellent skill set in relief work for Quinn Ewers in 2024. Manning completed 68 percent of his passes for 939 yards with nine touchdowns and two interceptions. He also had two rushing touchdowns. Manning could take off as a junior, with Ewers off to the NFL.

2/4/25:In 2024, Allar has completed 67 percent of his passes for 3,327 yards with 24 touchdowns passing, six rushing scores, and eight interceptions. Allar flashed ability, but he needs development with his footwork and field vision for the NFL. He was wise to return to college next season to improve before going to the NFL. Allar completed 60 percent of his passes in 2023 for 2,631 yards, 25 touchdowns and two interceptions. There is no doubt that Allar has a powerful arm and the potential to be a dangerous pocket passer.

2/4/25: Sellers (6-3, 242) has a big-time skill set and could be a breakout star in 2025. In 2024, Sellers completed 66 percent of his passes for 2,534 yards with 18 touchdown passes, seven interceptions, and seven rushing touchdowns.

7/1/24: In 2024, Beck completed 65 percent of his passes for 3,485 yards with 28 touchdowns and 12 interceptions with Georgia. Beck injured his elbow late in the season, knocking him out of the college football playoff games. Beck almost pulled off an amazing comeback against Alabama, but Beck’s three interceptions, one fumble, and inaccuracy led to Georgia losing to the Crimson Tide. Beck was unimpressive with three interception games against Texas and Florida. He had an interception and multiple fumbles in a loss to Ole Miss. Beck decided to enter the 2025 NFL Draft, but after seeing he was a potential mid-round pick, he changed his mind and transferred to Miami.

After a bit of a slow start to 2023, Beck heated up for Georgia, showing off a powerful arm and an ability to push the ball downfield. In 2023, Beck completed 72 percent of his passes for 3,941 yards, 24 touchdowns, and six interceptions. He has upside with serious arm talent and could become a legit quarterback prospect for the 2025 NFL Draft.
