DeShone Kizer, quarterback, Notre Dame
DeShone Kizer is an athletic, dual-threat quarterback who has a ton of NFL potential. He’s 6-foot-5, 220 pounds, so it’s not like he lacks the size to be an NFL quarterback. He also threw 5,805 yards and 47 touchdowns while rushing for rushing for 997 yards and 18 touchdowns in just two seasons at Notre Dame.
The potential is there, and his athleticism is undeniable.
The big cause for concern with Kizer is his ball-security. The game is going to speed up a ton in the NFL and he’s going to be playing against bigger, faster and stronger defenders. He threw 19 interceptions in those two seasons for the Fighting Irish, and that’s going to be a big, red flag for NFL scouts.
If he can get over the picks and prove that he can take care of the ball, Kizer can be special in the NFL. Some think he may even be the draft’s best quarterback.
