We\u2019ve talked about Joe Burrow<\/a>. We\u2019ve talked about Tua Tagovailoa<\/a>. Now it\u2019s time to unveil our third, and final, potential franchise quarterback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.\nJALEN HURTS, OKLAHOMA<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2019:\n69.7 completion percentage, 3,851 yards, 32 touchdowns, eight\ninterceptions, 1,298 rushing yards, 20 touchdowns, 6-2, 218 pounds<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s\nright. Jalen Hurts. If you were expecting Justin Herbert here, you\nare in for a shocker as to where he ends up in my hierarchy. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When\nI see Hurts, I see Dak Prescott and if wasn\u2019t for two freakish\nprospects rarely (if ever) seen in the draft process, he\u2019d be the\ntop pick on my board. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hurts\nwas a good college quarterback at Alabama and did just as he was\nasked in an offense that, it turns out, his talents far surpassed.\nWhen he transferred to Oklahoma, we got to really see what Hurts can\ndo. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lincoln\nRiley is an NFL coach that chooses, every year for some reason, to\nremain in Norman. Each offseason he is courted by NFL teams with job\nopenings and every time, for whatever reason, he turns those jobs\ndown to remain the most talented play designer and caller in NCAA\nfootball. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\nis a guy that NFL coaches openly steal from. And he unleashed Jalen\nHurts in a way no one was expecting last season as the senior QB put\nup video game numbers in a video game offense. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\nsee it in the film, the accuracy, the pocket presence and the ability\nto take that open hole and\nrush for a freakish touchdown<\/a>. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This\nplay right here is the one I want you to look at. Hurts has a rusher\nin his face. Any coach would tell the QB to throw that ball away and\nreload, but Hurts has the knowledge of the offense and trust in his\nlegs and arm to toss a touchdown on a throw that maybe no\none else on this list could make<\/a>. It\u2019s across his\nbody, it\u2019s perfectly placed where only his receiver can catch it\nand it\u2019s off his back foot while still moving. Anybody else tries\nthat throw, it\u2019s a pick in the end zone. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now,\nremember when we talked about Joe Burrow and his killer instinct.\nLook\nat this<\/a>. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hurts\nmakes the exact same kind of play. He\u2019s evaded the rush, has green\nin front of him and, unlike Burrow, he\u2019s got running back skills\nwhich he has shown plenty of times. If he takes off here, there\u2019s\nreason to believe he himself could bull his way into the end zone. He\ndoesn\u2019t, though. He\u2019s got his eyes on the prize and tosses a dart\nfor a touchdown. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But\nhere\u2019s the real kicker with Hurts. Nobody has a first round grade\non him (except me), so somebody, much like the Dallas Cowboys did\nwith Prescott in 2016, is about to steal a potential franchise\nquarterback in the later rounds. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where\nwill he go<\/a>? Pre Dak, No question he\u2019s a fourth or\nfifth rounder, but there\u2019s somebody in one of these draft rooms\nthat\u2019s seeing the same stuff I am on this film and already making\nplans. There\u2019s no reason to spend a first or second on him, but\nhe\u2019s going in the third round and he\u2019s going to a place that\nrecognizes his potential and is ready to nab one of the five best\nplayers in this entire draft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frankly, it should be Bruce Arians in Tampa Bay, plugging Hurts in right after Tom Brady either falters because of his age or decides to finally retire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
