1. Penn State image Drew Allar, QB, Penn State
Height: 6-5. Weight: 243.
Projected 40 Time: 4.70.
Projected Round (2025): 1-3.

7/1/24: Allar completed 60 percent of his passes in 2023 for 2,631 yards, 25 touchdowns, and two interceptions. Undoubtedly, Allar has a powerful arm and the potential to be a dangerous pocket passer.



2. Georgia image Carson Beck, QB, Georgia
Height: 6-4. Weight: 220.
Projected 40 Time: 4.74.
Projected Round (2025): 1-3.

7/1/24: 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. On the year, 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.



3. Texas image Quinn Ewers, QB, Texas
Height: 6-2. Weight: 206.
Projected 40 Time: 4.70.
Projected Round (2025): 1-3.

7/1/24: In 2023, Ewers completed 69 percent of his passes for 3,479 yards, 22 touchdowns and six interceptions. He flashed some big-time potential for Texas in 2022. That season, he completed 58 percent of his passes in 2022 for 2,177 yards, 15 touchdowns and six interceptions. While Ewers needs to get more consistent, he has a big arm and serious passing talent.



4. Alabama image Jalen Milroe*, QB, Alabama
Height: 6-2. Weight: 212.
Projected 40 Time: 4.60.
Projected Round (2025): 1-3.

7/1/24: Milroe has an excellent skill set, a good arm, a strong build, and dangerous running ability. In his first season as a starter, Milroe improved as the season progressed, completing 66 percent of his passes for 2,834 yards with 23 touchdowns and six interceptions. He ran for 531 yards and 12 touchdowns with a lot of clutch plays to get Alabama past Georgia in the SEC Championship and into the college football playoff. Milroe needs to improve his ability to read coverage, his knowledge of defenses, his communication, and develop his football I.Q. Milroe is a hard worker, and good kid that is putting in a lot of time to getting better.



5. Notre Dame image Riley Leonard*, QB, Notre Dame
Height: 6-4. Weight: 212.
Projected 40 Time: 4.69.
Projected Round (2025): 1-3.

7/1/24: Leonard has good size to him and arm talent. He broke out in 2022, completing 64 percent of his passes for 2,967 yards, 20 touchdowns and six interceptions. In 2023, Leonard completed 58 percent of his passes for 1,102 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions. He also had four rushing touchdowns. Leonard missed a game with a leg injury suffered at the end of the loss to Notre Dame. He came back for two more games before exiting the lineup again. Leonard went out for the year in late October. After the season, he announced he was entering the transfer portal.

Leonard played well at times during 2023, but his performance against Notre Dame illustrated that he needs more development in terms of accuracy while getting rushed and staying poised under pressure. He was wise to transfer to Notre Dame to continue developing before going pro.

Projected Round (2025): 1-3.
