Oregon QB Justin Herbert to skip draft, play one more year of college

The 2019 NFL Draft just lost one potential first round quarterback. Oregon quarterback Justin Herbert announced on Wednesday that he will return to school for one more year.

Herbert stood a good chance of being the first quarterback off the board, but things are in flux now that he is off the board. Ohio State’s Dwayne Haskins received a first round grade from the NFL’s draft advisory board, per Chris Mortensen, but has not announced if he will turn pro. If he does, he would be in the mix to be the first quarterback off the board.
