Brandon Harris leads LSU’s quarterback corps into battle this year, and we’re predicting Harris will finish as an All-SEC performer in our 2016 LSU quarterback breakdown.

According to legendary NFL head coach Bill Walsh, the position of quarterback is the most important one on a football field. Walsh said that a QB is simultaneously head engineer and manager of a team.

Quarterbacks have also been called extensions of the coach and likened to battlefield generals, commodities traders, and head surgeons. Regardless of what occupation one may associate with them, both casual fans and experts recognize that having a great player under center is integral to a team’s success.

Thus—it is only fitting to begin positional previews of the upcoming 2016 LSU Tigers season by analyzing the current quarterback corps.
