It is never too early to talk about the NFL draft and one of the most polarizing and fun positions to discuss is the quarterback position. It has never been more fun to talk quarterbacks as an Ohio State fan with the recent success of Justin Fields and Dwayne Haskins. I don’t want to call Ohio State QB U just yet, but the potential is there with the hype surrounding C.J. Stroud.
We don’t want to just focus on our boy Stroud though, the Big Ten has a number of extremely talented quarterbacks. The following list includes the top three NFL draft-eligible quarterback prospects in the Big Ten.

C.J. Stroud, Ohio State

C.J. Stroud will be heading into the 2022 season with a ton of momentum after passing for 1,399 yards and 14 touchdowns against his last three opponents in Michigan State, Michigan, and Utah. If Stroud can end the season putting up those numbers against that insanely strong string of opponents, the sky is the limit for the 2022 Heisman Trophy favorite. Last season he finished fourth in the Heisman voting, but next season he may be the first pick in the NFL draft.

Aidan O’Connell, Purdue

Aidan O’Connell should be ready for the NFL since this will be his sixth year with Purdue. O’Connell passed for an Earth-shattering 3,712 yards last season, which is the fifth most in school history. The only two Purdue quarterbacks that have passed for more in a single season are Drew Brees and Curtis Painter.
