DeShone Kizer, quarterback, Notre Dame
At 6-foot-2, 220 pounds, DeShone Kizer is a tremendous dual-threat quarterback and athlete. Furthermore, he did some great things for the Fighting Irish while at Notre Dame. He threw for 5,805 yards and 47 touchdowns in just two seasons.
The problem: He also threw 19 interceptions in those two seasons.
Ultimately, Kizer will have to prove his accuracy against NFL opponents. But coming out and having a strong showing in the throwing portion of the NFL Combine will be important for him when it comes to giving NFL Scouts confidence in his ability to consistently hit his targets.
He’ll also have the opportunity to impress during interviews as teams evaluate his knowledge of the game.
