Stanford Has Built a Pro-Style QB Pipeline in Andrew Luck's Wake

In the run-up to National Signing Day this year, there wasn’t much to look forward to at the position with the most influence on a team’s fortunes. Just about every elite quarterback in the class of 2018 had already announced where he was going to school. The only one who hadn’t was Tanner McKee, a 6'6", 220-pound standout at Centennial High in Corona, Calif., favored to choose Stanford during a televised announcement ceremony. McKee didn’t buck expectations, unzipping a black jacket to reveal a Stanford T-shirt before slipping on a black baseball cap bearing the university’s block “S” logo.
