Heading into the 2018 NFL Draft, the quarterbacks at the top of nearly every projected draft board have been USC’s Sam Darnold and UCLA’s Josh Rosen.

The 2018 NFL Draft quarterback pool is a confusing one. No one really seems sure who is exactly what. That being said, at least according to some scouts, presumed top prospects Josh Rosen and Sam Darnold are actually better off staying in school instead of turning pro.

USC Trojans quarterback Sam Darnold has come under a lot of scrutiny this season. For good reason too, as he entered the year with as much hype as any quarterback in the country.

Although, if we’re being honest at the risk of being a jerk, there’s no real actual payoff to this. A fan was caught displaying a Sam […]

Los Angles has been blessed with two of the best quarterback prospects in the nation in USC’s Sam Darnold and UCLA’s Josh Rosen. As it sits right now, these young signal-callers will likely go number 1 and number 2 overall in 2018 NFL Draft, respectively. Are either of these quarterbacks worth tanking for?  Before we […]
