NFL | Top quarterbacks throwing at Combine
North Dakota QB Carson Wentz, California QB Jared Goff, Memphis QB Paxton Lynch, Michigan State QB Connor Cook, Penn State QB Christian Hackenberg, Ohio State QB Cardale Jones and Mississippi State QB Dak Prescott will all be throwing at the NFL Scouting Combine this week.
Footballguys View: The player with the most to prove at the position is Connor Cook. He missed the Senior Bowl earlier this year as he recovered from a shoulder injury. Cook needs to impress throwing the ball, but more importantly he needs to impress in the team interview process. There are off-field concerns with Cook, and he needs to work to clear things up before the draft. He could be a first-round pick if all goes well.
