of Oregon and Josh Allen of Wyoming are among the elite quarterbacks in college football this season.
Herbert, a sophomore in his second season with the Ducks, already is drawing favorable comparisons to Heisman Trophy winner Marcus Mariota, the former Ducks QB who was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2015 draft and now plays for the Tennessee Titans.
Allen, a junior with the Cowboys, had considered entering the draft after last season, but returned to Laramie and now is in the conversation to be the No. 1 pick in the 2018 draft.
Last season, Allen completed 56 percent of his passes (209 of 373) and threw for 28 touchdowns against 15 interceptions.
