As we pass through Week 6 of the 2022 college football season -- which featured standout performances from many of the top 2023 NFL draft prospects -- the quarterback class continues to take shape. Ohio State's C.J. Stroud, Alabama's Bryce Young and Kentucky's Will Levis are still the clear top three on most boards, but what about the next tier?
Tennessee's Hendon Hooker is one quarterback steadily rising after another great outing, throwing for 239 yards and two touchdowns in a win over LSU. Is he the next in line? Who else is in the mix? And which QB needs the biggest second-half turnaround to stay in the early-round mix? NFL draft analysts Mel Kiper Jr., Jordan Reid and Matt Miller answer big questions about Hooker and other intriguing quarterback prospects -- and even take a quick look ahead to 2024.
Kiper, Reid and Miller also single out prospects rising up their draft boards and players flying under the radar who could get a draft-stock boost. Finally, they empty their notebooks with everything they saw and heard over the weekend. Let's get started.
