3. Kedon Slovis is definitely the QB of now and the future

You hate to ever see a kid lose his starting job due to injury, but with the way Kedon Slovis is playing, he is going to be difficult to remove from that role of QB1.

Slovis himself returned from an injury suffered a few weeks ago against Notre Dame. He threw for 255 yards and two touchdowns without an interception that week, and followed it up with 232 yards and two more scores without a pick vs. Arizona.

On the year, Slovis has completed 75 percent of his passes with seven touchdowns and four interceptions, racking up almost 1,000 yards.

JT Daniels will be back next year, and that quarterback battle will be very, very fun to watch unfold.
