Despite having never played in a game at the collegiate level, Ohio State’s fourth-string quarterback has become the odds-on candidate to go No. 1 overall in the 2015 NFL Draft.
“I don’t know what his name is, what he looks like or how big or small he may be, but he must be awesome,” said Tampa Bay Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht. “Ohio State’s quarterbacks just get better and better as you go down the depth chart. Ohmigod! Do you think they have a fifth-string quarterback? He must be amazing!”
The Buckeyes won the first College Football Playoff in impressive fashion behind third-string quarterback Cardale Jones, who went from no-name to legit 1st Round prospect. But savvy NFL scouts quickly moved past him to even greater riches on the Buckeyes roster.
“Urban Meyer is a hell of a coach, but he obviously doesn’t know anything about evaluating quarterback talent,” said Ruston Webster, GM of the Titans, who have the No. 2 pick. “While we love the 4th-string guy, whatever his name is, I’m wondering if there’s a quarterback Meyer cut from the team. That kid is probably the greatest quarterback ever.”
Yet some NFL scouts are not as high on Ohio State’s fourth-stringer, a player no one knows anything about or if he even exists.
“The Buccaneers using the No. 1 overall pick on a fourth-string college quarterback?” said a rival GM. “Yeah, that sounds about right.”
