The Pac-12 isn’t exactly packed with NFL talent this season. The ACC, Big 12 and Pac-12 all seem less poised to produce significant draft choices than prior years.

There’s plenty positions where you can predict NFL success before they play in their final year of college football. Quarterbacks, running backs, offensive and defensive linemen rarely have massive breakout seasons that put them on the map as seniors. Cornerbacks though are different; it’s difficult to predict the top players at the position before the

The next quarterback analyzed in this series of way too early scouting profiles is Nathan Stanley from Iowa. He put himself on the map after a huge upset win over Ohio State in which he played outstandingly. He might be the prospect who comes out of nowhere to contend as an early pick next year.

The next quarterback analyzed in this series of way too early scouting profiles is Brett Rypien from Boise State. So far Rypien has flown under the radar from most media outlets.
