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.

Manning completed 68 percent of his passes for 939 yards with nine touchdowns and two interceptions. He also had two rushing touchdowns.

2/6/26: 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.

2/6/26: Mateer completed 62 percent of his passes for 2,885 yards with 14 touchdowns, 11 interceptions, and eight rushing touchdowns. After having hand surgery, Mateer was expected to miss a month but was only out for 17 days. After rushing back, Mateer had a horrible game against Texas, throwing three bad interceptions and taking some bad snaps.

For the NFL, Mateer looks like a starter who could be a devastating passer. Mateer (6-1, 224) is an accurate passer with excellent ball placement overall. He has a few throws get away from him, but Mateer has impressive precision as a passer. Mateer is very mobile in the pocket and can hurt defenses on the ground. As a passer, Mateer is similar to Baker Mayfield, but Mateer is a better athlete and more dangerous with his feet. It would not surprise this analyst if Mateer ends up rising high for the 2025 NFL Draft.

Mateer played well for Washington State in 2024 and impressed in his first year as a starter. He completed 65 percent of his passes for 3,139 yards with 29 touchdowns and seven interceptions. Mateer has some mobility and is a gritty competitor. Some team sources have compared Mateer to former Sooners quarterback Baker Mayfield. Mateer could be a high riser during the 2025 season.

2/6/26: In 2025, Iamaleava has completed 64 percent of his passes for 1,928 yards with 13 touchdowns and seven interceptions. He has four scores on the ground. Iamaleava was incredible in putting the team on his back and leading a winless Bruins team to a massive upset of Penn State, the No. 7-ranked team in the nation. In 2024 with Tennessee, Iamaleava has completed 64 percent of his passes for 2,616 yards with 19 touchdowns and five interceptions. Iamaleava has a lot of talent with a strong arm, passing ability, and is a fast, athletic, and tough runner.

2/6/26: Sellers completed 61 percent of his passes for 2,437 yards with 13 touchdowns passing, eight interceptions, five rushing, and some yardage on the ground. It sounds like Sellers may return to South Carolina in 2026. He should look to improve his accuracy and fundamentals before going to the NFL.

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. He showed a strong arm with dynamic running ability and true dual-threat talent for the NFL. However, Sellers has inconsistent accuracy and needs a lot more polish to be an effective pocket passer in the NFL.
