The Other QBs at the Combine

QB1 is a Las Vegas Raider. QB2 will need to prove it at the NFL Combine.

Taylen Green, Cade Klubnik, Diego Pavia, Joey Aguilar, Garrett Nussmeier, and Haynes King

Fernando Mendoza was QB4 and the 20th overall player on Dane Brugler's summer big board, published by The New York Times on August 21, 2025.

Garrett Nussmeier was QB3 and ranked 10th; Drew Allar was QB5 and ranked 27th; Cade Klubnik was QB6 and ranked 30th.

Then the season happened.

Arch Manning (QB1), LaNorris Sellers (QB2), and Sam Leavitt (QB7) returned to school a few short months after being projected to be Top 50 NFL prospects.

Ty Simpson, who missed the cut last summer, heads into the NFL Combine as QB2 with a chance to rise into the 1st-round discussion

How Important Is Quarterback Footwork?

J.J. McCarthy was the poster boy for it all. Ball-knowers and film-grinders diagnosed all 10 of his toes, like JP Acosta after the Vikings loss to the Bears:

"McCarthy knows where to go with the ball, but he rushes his process and dirts [the pass]. Look at his feet in the pocket;

Fixing the Bills WR Problem

Buffalo will be active in Indianapolis as they remake their wide receiver room.

Fixing the Bills WR Problem

You can't really know where the Bills are going until you know where they've been.

Honestly? Things have been great. The drought is in the rearview. The current regime nurtured an NFL MVP and ensured the team would remain in Buffalo. The new stadium opens this summer. Tracy McGrady and Vince Carter own a slice of the team. That's sick as hell.

The past two seasons, however, have been simmering toward a boiling point that finally blew its lid in Jacksonville.

Buffalo entered the game with five wide receivers. They left it with only three. How could the season possibly

2025 NFL Draft 3-Round Mock

This 3-round mock combines mountains of research with sourced insider reports to provide the latest intel ahead of the NFL Draft.

2025 NFL Draft 3-Round Mock

The following mock draft combines research from various sources, including Sports Info Solutions, PFF, NBC Sports, several Bleacher Report team affiliates, the Athletic's tremendous stable of beat reporters, Alex Katson's equally tremendous, NFL-sourced Pro Day spreadsheet, many NFL podcasts, Spotrac, Dane Brugler's prospect guide ("The Beast"), and mock drafts from ESPN's Matt Miller and NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah.
