Quote:10) Who else should we be watching?
Two buzzy names are Toledo’s Logan Woodside and Memphis’ Riley Ferguson. Both seniors should get drafted, and it will take a strong closing kick to the season and good showings at the NFL scouting combine and pro days to determine how high. Can either get up to, say, the third round?
...
Ferguson is a former Tennessee recruit who left Knoxville and detailed cars and power washed fences for eight months before re-starting his career in junior college. He transferred to Memphis and shined ever since. He has thrown 27 touchdowns and seven interceptions this season, leading Memphis to an 8-1 record and likely bid in the AAC title game. (Most notably, Ferguson threw six touchdowns in an upset of UCLA – and Rosen – in September). There will be questions of Ferguson’s exit from Tennessee and hiatus from the sport, but he’s likely earned himself a draft spot with his play the past two years. “He’s a mid-to-late round pick,” said an executive. “He’s a gamer, he’s a competitor.”
Seems complementary. Here is hoping he gets a chance to get a check.
