WILL GRIER

Height: 6-2. Weight: 217.

Position: Quarterback.

College: West Virginia.

What he offers: Grier doesn’t have the biggest arm in this year’s draft, but he was a perfect fit for West Virginia’s system that was predicated on timing and touch. He has a quick release and translated that into immense production, throwing from more than 300 yards in 19 of his 22 games with the Mountaineers. He also has sneaky athleticism and was widely lauded for his leadership at West Virginia.
