Round 6 - 0
Round 7 - 3
1) Bryce Young | 5'10 | 200 | QB | Alabama
3,328 Passing Yards, 32 TDs : 5 INTs, 64.5% Completion Rate
9/10 - Texas - Young had a very lopsided game today. He went 27 for 39 with 213 yards, 1 TD. Early on, all he did was hit short passes, often was rattled in the pocket. He used his legs well at times, but wasn't consistent feeling pressure. Then, when the game was on the line late, he took over and looked like a franchise QB, marching his team down the filed for the win.
10/1 - Arkansas - Up until his injury, Young was having a decent game. He went 7 for 13 with 173 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT. While I never like to rub salt in a wound, the injury he sustained was his fault, as he didn't throw the ball away as he should've.
10/8 - Texas A&M - DNP
2) C.J. Stroud | 6'3 | 214 | QB | Ohio State
3,688 Passing Yards, 41 TDs : 6 INTs, 66.3% Completion Rate
9/3 - Notre Dame - Stroud had a few shaky moments, but was very solid overall. He went 24 for 34 with 223 yards, 2 TDs. He threw some nice tough passes, took what the defense gave him, leveraged Emeka Egbuka.
9/23 - Wisconsin - Stroud was in complete control for this entire contest. He went 17 for 27 with 281 yards, 5 TDs, 1 INT. He did an excellent job of piking apart what is usually a very tricky defense. He showed off good arm strength and ball placement. He didn't spread the ball around much, but he didn't need to do so.
10/8 - Michigan State - Aside from Stroud's errant INT early on, he was very good. He went 21 for 26 with 361 yards, 6 TDs, 1 INT. He threw the ball with zip and touch, spread it all over the place.
3) Will Levis | 6'4 | 229 | QB | Kentucky
2,406 Passing Yards, 19 TDs : 10 INTs, 65.4% Completion Rate
9/10 - Florida - By all accounts, Levis had a very solid game. Going 13 for 24 with 202 yards, 1 TD and 1 INT aren't numbers to make one gush. However, he played with toughness and resiliency all game, held strong against a vicious defense. Aside from some accuracy issues, he showed nice ball placement a number of times, took what the defense gave him.
10/1 - Ole Miss - Levis had a solid outing overall, but had some issues. He went 18 for 24 with 220 yards, 2 TDs, generally displaying good ball accuracy and game management. He did have one play in particular where he took a sack vs. throwing the ball away, a problem we've seen a lot this year with QBs. He spread the ball around, but had to opt for short-range passes, wasn't able to push the ball long with any consistency. He showed limitations using his legs, as he was credited with 9 runs for a total of -19 yards.
4) Hendon Hooker | 6'4 | 218 | QB | Tennessee
3,135 Passing Yards, 27 TDs : 2 INTs, 69.6% Completion Rate
9/10 - Pittsburgh - Hooker had a very good showing. Against a very good defensive front, he held strong. He went 27 for 42 with 325 yards, 2 TDs. He also ran the ball 15 times for 27 yards. He was smart with his decisions, made a number of good throws.
9/24 - Florida - Hooker had a great game. He went 22 for 28 with 349 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INTs. He also had 13 runs for 112 yards, 1 TD. He was in total command throughout this contest, consistently drove his offense against a good defense. He throws were accurate and sharp, and his legs made him a dangerous dual threat.
10/8 - LSU - Hooker was great. He went 17 for 27 with 239 yards, 2 TDs. While he was off on a few passes, there were also some drops. As a whole, he shredded a good defense without the use of his star WR, Tillman. He also used his legs, had 10 carries for 56 yards, took what the defense availed to him.
11/12 - Missouri - Hooker was fantastic. He went 25 for 35 with 355 yards, 3 TDs. He placed the ball well and made good decisions with both his arm and legs. He ran as needed, and tore up a good opposing defense when doing so. He had 8 carries for 50 yards, 1 TD.
11/19 - South Carolina - Hooker looked off today. He went 25 for 42 with 247 yards, 3 TDs. While his stat line reads just fine, he missed on a number of his passes, ones he usually connects on.
5) Anthony Richardson | 6'4 | 244 | QB | Florida
2,549 Passing Yards, 17 TDs : 9 INTs, 53.8% Completion Rate
9/3 - Utah - Richardson operated like a seasoned pro. He went 17 for 24 with 168 yards. He also carried the ball 11 times for 106 yards, notching 3 TDs. As a passer, he showed off a cannon for an arm. As a runner, he was very fast and elusive.
9/10 - Kentucky - Richardson struggled mightily. Aside from showing off a cannon of an arm, his accuracy was an issue the entire game. He went 14 for 35 with 143 yards, 2 INTs. While he hate to ever put a win or loss on one player, he's the reason Florida lost this game.
9/24 - Tennessee - Richardson had a good game. He went 24 for 44 with 453 yards, 2 TDs, 1 INT. While he did have his bouts of inaccuracies at times, he drove the ball down the field well and kept his team in the game. He also carried the ball 17 times for 62 yards, showing versatility.
10/8 - Missouri - Richardson had a very meh game, as he went 8 for 14 with 66 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT. He used his legs well, but did little else, as it was clear his coaches didn't trust his passing game.
6) Tanner McKee | 6'5 | 228 | QB | Stanford
2,947 Passing Yards, 13 TDs : 8 INTs, 62% Completion Rate
9/10 - USC - McKee looked very average in this lopsided game. He went 20 for 35 with 220 yards, 1 TD and 2 INTs. He seldom threw anything downfield, relied on a short game to move the ball threw the air. He did have some good throws, but again was nothing special.
7) Jaren Hall | 6'1 | 205 | QB | BYU
3,171 Passing Yards, 31 TDs : 6 INTs, 66% Completion Rate
9/10 - Baylor - Hall had a decent game. He went 23 for 39 with 261 yards, 1 TD. While he faced a stout defense and was rattled at times, impacting his accuracy, he held strong and generally made good choices. His sole TD pass was a dime, a ball placed quite well.
9/17 - Oregon - Hall had a very solid game. He went 29 for 41 with 305 yards, 2 TDs. He ran his offense well, especially given the defense he faced. He showed off nice ball placement, and used his legs when he had to do so.
10/8 - Notre Dame - Hall had a very down game. He went 9 for 17 with 120 yards, 2 TDs, 1 INT. He was rattled often, couldn't get anything going.
8) Clayton Tune | 6'3 | 220 | QB | Houston
4,074 Passing Yards, 40 TDs : 10 INTs, 67.3% Completion Rate
9) Jake Haener | 6'1 | 195 | QB | Fresno State
2,896 Passing Yards, 20 TDs : 3 INTs, 72% Completion Rate
9/17 - USC - Haener unfortunately got knocked out early. Up to that point, he went 10 for 18 with 107 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT. He looked decent given the defense he faced, but wasn't special.
10) Max Duggan | 6'2 | 210 | QB | TCU
3,698 Passing Yards, 32 TDs : 8 INTs, 63.7% Completion Rate
11) Stetson Bennett | 5'11 | 190 | QB | Georgia

12) Malik Cunningham | 6'1 | 200 | QB | Louisville
1,568 Passing Yards, 8 TDs : 5 INTs, 62.4% Completion Rate
9/3 - Syracuse - Cunningham struggled in this one. While credit must be given to the Syracuse defense, Cunningham went 16 for 22 with just 152 yards, 2 INTs. While accurate on short to near passes, he wasn't sharp otherwise. He used his feet well to attempt escape at times, but that was a hit or miss effort for him.
9/16 - Florida State - Cunningham had a good game, really ran hot in the first half. He went 21 for 34 with 243 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT. He also ran the ball 17 times for 127 yards, 2 TDs. He took what the defense gave him, showed off his athleticism. His passes weren't always crisp, but he was hurried a lot.
