ESPN analyst: QBs like Jake Bentley ‘an endangered species’

ESPN college football analyst Tom Luginbill wonders if quarterbacks like South Carolina’s Jake Bentley are a dying breed in college football. If so, he’s going to hate to see them go.

“I think Jake Bentley at some point may end up being a first round NFL draft choice. I think he’s that good, but right now I don’t want to call him an endangered species but in college football those guys are becoming that,” Luginbill told The State.

“Those guys” Luginbill is referring to are the prototypical pro-style quarterbacks who do most of their damage from the pocket with their arms rather than in the open field with their legs.
