3. Kelly Bryant, Senior
Old Team: Clemson
New Team: Missouri
If it wasn’t for Missouri’s bowl ban, this could really be a special year for the Tigers because of their relatively favorable schedule and landing a proven winner like Kelly Bryant to take over at quarterback.
Even though Bryant chose Missouri to help him get ready for the NFL, he’ll still be expected to use his feet just as much as his arm, if not more.

Bryant’s record as a starter is 16-2 and he spent his first two years at Clemson as Deshaun Watson‘s backup, which one can only assume served him well as a valuable learning experience.
In the past, Bryant’s only weakness has been occasional inconsistency throwing the ball, but with the exception of a flukey game at Syracuse and the 2017 national championship game against Alabama, he’s always managed to find a way to win.
Putting Bryant in charge of an offense like Missouri’s that has so many playmakers and potential superstars give it a very real chance of being 9-0 as it heads into November. However, that’ll most likely be the end of the Tigers’ winning streak as their backloaded schedule will likely hand them a few late-season losses as they face Georgia, Florida, Tennessee and Arkansas to finish off the year.
