NCAA Football: Senior Bowl

I have a new favorite quarterback in the 2016 NFL Draft.

It's not Memphis' Paxton Lynch, or North Dakota State's Carson Wentz. While both are intriguing, there are also major questions that need to be answered.

And it certainly isn't Michigan State's Connor Cook, or Penn State's Christian Hackenberg.

Then look at his Rose Bowl rout of a very good Iowa team where he threw three touchdown passes in a 45-16 win.

Because his offense featured McCaffery, a Heisman Trophy finalist, Hogan didn't have to throw as often. And because of McCaffery he didn't get the attention of some of the others.

Scouts think the Cardinal passer will likely go somewhere in the second round. I think he may go down as the steal of the draft.
