Top College QB Prospects Are Taking Their Lumps

More MMQB: Dak Prescott Is Grateful for the Cowboys Team Around Him | Ten Takeaways: Takeaways: Joe Burrow, Bengals Finally Hitting Their Stride | The Chiefs Are Growing Up Fast After Their Win Over the 49ers

The last few years, my Six From Saturday notes have been included at the bottom of my MMQB column on Monday mornings. This year, they’ll be published as a separate post each week. Here are my thoughts on this weekend’s college action, geared mostly toward what should be of interest to NFL fans.

1) Texas’s Quinn Ewers has cooled off. USC’s Caleb Williams had a significant hiccup last week. Ohio State’s C.J. Stroud had to fight through a tough start against an elite defense Saturday. And all of that is a good reminder of how important reps are for quarterbacks before they get to the NFL. Ewers and Williams were harder to pick apart on tape early. But with time, some warts showed themselves. Stroud, a year older, and draft-eligible a year earlier, has been through that a couple of times now. All will grow from the experience—and come out of it having more knowledge to lean back on when they get to the league.
