In 2025, Manning completed 61 percent of his passes for 3,163 yards with 26 touchdowns and seven interceptions. He had 10 rushing touchdowns. After a slow start, Manning finished the season strong and showed significant improvement over the course of the season. Manning has a great skill set with size, arm strength, and running ability. Obviously, his family heritage and pedigree have led to him having advanced fundamentals and mechanics. Manning flashed his talent 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.

9/29/26: Moore has completed 70 percent of his passes for 926 yards with nine touchdowns. Versus USC, Moore took a vicious hit to the head and was stretchered off the field. He suffered a concussion and is expected to come back this season.

Moore was a dynamic point-producer for the Ducks in 2025, making plays with his arm and legs. In 2025, Moore completed 72 percent of his passes for 3,565 yards with 30 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. Moore is a dangerous quarterback who is tough to defend. In 2023 with UCLA, Moore completed 54 percent of his passes for 1,610 yards with 11 touchdowns and nine interceptions. Moore has a good arm and can throw some beautiful passes deep down the field. Moore has a lot of talent and upside, but against Indiana, Moore struggled. He showed that he needs to improve his processing speed and was holding the ball too long, leading to taking unnecessary sacks.

9/29/26: In 2026, Carr has completed 71 percent of his passes for 963 yards with nine touchdowns and one interception. He has two rushing touchdowns. Team sources have compared Carr to Bo Nix and Brock Purdy.

Carr completed 67 percent of his passes for 2,741 yards with 24 touchdowns and six interceptions. He was accurate, managed the game well, has developed field vision, and is a dangerous pocket passer with functional mobility.

After the season, he transferred to Miami to replace Carson Beck. He has a quality skill set with some arm talent and mobility.

He does not have elite athleticism or size, but Mensah is a dangerous passer and a point producer.

9/29/26: In 2026, Mestemaker has completed 67 percent of his passes for 1,271 yards with 11 passing touchdowns, one rushing score, and five interceptions.

Mestemaker has a serious skill set with arm talent, size, and mobility. He flashed special ability with North Texas in 2025, completing 69 percent of his passes for 4,379 yards with 34 touchdowns and nine interceptions. He also had five rushing scores. Mestemaker has a powerful arm and running ability, but he is very raw and needs development for the NFL. It will be fascinating to see how Mestemaker develops at Oklahoma State, and he could emerge as a high first-round prospect for the 2027 or 2028 NFL Draft.

9/29/26: Sellers has completed 62 percent of his passes for 833 yards, six passing touchdowns, one rushing touchdown, and four interceptions.

Sellers has a big-time skill set and could be a special quarterback. In 2024, Sellers completed 66 percent of his passes for 2,534 yards with 18 touchdown passes, seven interceptions, and seven rushing touchdowns.

In 2024, Leavitt did a good job of managing the game and using the playmakers at his disposal while leading Arizona State into the college football playoffs.

Team sources said that if he had been forced into the 2026 NFL Draft, they felt he could have been a worthy day-two pick for a team in need of quarterback competition. Chambliss successfully sued to get another year of eligibility from the NCAA to play at Ole Miss in 2026. But teams were prepared and did reports on Chambliss. In speaking to sources from multiple teams, they felt Chambliss could have gone as high as the second round and as low as the fourth round.

6/11/26: Sorsby has the talent to be a first- or second-round pick, but a gambling addiction that caused him to seek rehab is going to be a big burden on his grade with NFL teams and could cause him to slide. Sorsby was denied entry into the NFL Supplemental Draft, and the league encouraged him to prepare for the 2027 NFL Draft. In 2025 with Cincinnati, Sorsby completed 62 percent of his passes for 2,800 yards with 27 touchdowns and five interceptions. He showed a lot of running ability as well, with nine touchdowns on the ground.

Sayin looks on the smaller side, but he showed quality accuracy, ball security, field vision, and decision-making in his debut season.
