Paxton Lynch continues to lead his team to victory, now 7-0 on the season. This guy is fun to watch, and he’s a special talent. He’s leading a high-powered offense that is putting up 50+ points a game consistently, and even put up 37 against Ole Miss.
Maybe not as mobile as some of the other quarterbacks on this list, but Lynch has the talent to compete with these guys. Now, it’s unclear how much of a legitimate shot he has at the Heisman, but we can just bask in his playmaking, and recognize him now before the season is over.
The 6-7 245-pound junior out of Florida is making a name for himself, and you have to wonder what NFL scouts are thinking, considering his size, and success to go along with it.
He has a 175.7 passer rating through seven games, and has almost 243 attempts. Not to mention, he’s only thrown one interception, and it came against Ole Miss.
