Lynch is a junior at the University of Memphis. Unusually tall for a quarterback at 6’7”, Lynch has worked wonders for the Tigers this year, leading them to an upset of Ole Miss and keeping them in contention for a potential playoff spot until their loss to the Naval Academy. For the season so far, he has gone 271 for 392 for 3,448 yards and 21 scores – and just three picks. According to several draft analysts, he could be the next Blake Bortles – a project who ends up doing quite well after some mentoring and seasoning.
