Marshall has been home to several standout quarterbacks of the years including Byron Leftwich and Chad Pennington. Chase Litton could be the next in that line, as the 6-6, 232-pounder has the size and skills to develop in the NFL.
Litton was a three-year starter for the Thundering Herd, throwing for 8,335 yards with 72 touchdowns and 31 interceptions. He had at least 23 passing scores each year, throwing for a career-high 3,115 yards this past season.
His completion percentage dropped from 62 to 60 between his sophomore and junior seasons, but that is still a very strong number.
Litton isn’t very mobile, but he can avoid would-be tacklers and has the height to look down the field.
Projection: Fourth round
