Great article, the future looks bright! One can dream that Fatrat is our Malachi Toney 🤞but no pressure 🐀

Think you guys are wrong on snook. Also think you have Petershon wrong. Top 3 probably. Move Cleveland up as well

Is anyone thinking with the impression Huhn is giving and some of the other talent in the QB room, that Grunkemeyer will get beat out at some point before he graduates? Yes, he showed well enough in games last year but seems Huhn and the freshman coming next year have higher ceilings from all the chatter.

  That would be unwelcome, imo. Would be ideal for Grunk to play this year and next year and give Huhn and/or Bourque the opportunity to develop slowly. If Grunk gets beat out before then it’s either very bad (as in, he hasn’t developed as he should) or very good (as in, Huhn or Bourque is a generational talent). In the two scenarios above, the former is probably more likely.

    I don’t think Huhn will beat out anyone in the current qb room. May not be athletic enough. Nice arm though.

    "this year, and next year" AND the year after that too. He's only a sophomore. Huhn wouldn't play until he's a R-Jr. and Bourque a R-So (which in his case could be ideal)

      I’m guessing Grunk goes to the NFL after his R-Jr year. I think he’ll be good enough.

Chris, interesting you said 15 because, when you started the article, I was thinking with the influx of talent, that may be necessary next year. Hears, hoping. It is a good thing.
