Heading into the 2018 NFL Draft, the quarterback position is featured as arguably the most in-depth position available. With five possible first-round projected quarterbacks available, one, in particular, sits at the top of some scouts lists as the best. Sam Darnold, a USC product, and top prospect rests as one rookie showcasing as the must-draft rookie in this years class.
A former 2015 redshirt freshmen, Darnold got the starting nod in 2016 where he completed 67.2 percent of his passes for 3,086 yards, 31 touchdowns, and nine interceptions. The young QB would follow that impressive rookie season with a promising yet rocky sophomore campaign.
