2. How much can Jordan Ta’amu progress?

As a junior, Jordan Ta’amu took over under center as Shea Patterson’s season was ended early with an injury. He exceeded expectations and was one of the driving forces in Patterson’s decision to transfer to Michigan.

Ta’amu completed 67 percent of his passes for 1,682 yards and 11 touchdowns with four interceptions. He also rushed for 165 yards and four touchdowns and was one of the bigger breakout candidates in the conference. He will need to take that next step in order to lead the Rebels to a strong 8-9 win season.

If he looks more accurate and has a stronger frame this spring, watch out. This kid could be one of the better gunslingers in the SEC, if not the country.

The senior is looking to convert himself into a strong NFL prospect and a strong spring will lead to an even better appearance in the fall. How much can he prove he’s progressed this spring?
