It’s never too early to get excited about the NFL Draft for next year. Here are the Top 10 quarterbacks to pay attention to for the 2016 NFL Draft.
The 2015 NFL Draft is in the books. We have gone into detail as much as possible about who the best players are, which schools dominated the draft, and which conferences showed out the most.
Now it’s time for next year’s NFL Draft. That’s right. We’re already looking ahead, and it’s never too early.

Obviously, we want to name these players now so you can keep an eye on them as the season goes on, starting with quarterbacks. These are obviously not the Top 10 quarterbacks most likely to win the Heisman, become All-Americans, or win the Davey O’Brien Trophy.
But they are the ones with the most NFL potential for a variety of reasons, which is why we are taking a hard look at them here. Many of these guys have the size, the physical tools, and the experience in a pro-style offense in college to show that they are already ready for the next level. Some of them have all of that without ever having started a season, which we’ll get to.
Other players have already proven themselves on the field, which is why they are on this list.
And there is another batch of players who have all the potential but have not shown it while starting yet. They are on this list because of what they can do and have this upcoming college football season to prove it.
All of this is going to be taken into account, so here are our Top 10 quarterbacks for the 2016 NFL Draft.
