QB Jordan Love, Utah State, #10, 7:30 p.m. PT, CBSSN
No one knows what the future holds for 16-year veteran Philip Rivers. But whether or not he returns with the Chargers for the 2020 season, the team will be looking to add his eventual replacement in the first couple rounds of the draft.
When you look at Love’s stat sheet from this season, it’s easy to be swayed away. He has thrown 13 touchdowns and 14 interceptions this season. Just a year ago, Love posted 32 touchdowns to only six interceptions. Whether it’s the coaching change or lack of talent, the inconsistency is evident but the potential is too great.
The 6-foot-4 and 225 quarterback has the arm strength and talent, athleticism, football IQ, confidence character and physical traits that easily translates to the next level. His decision-making has been questionable this season, but the positives outweigh the negative, which could easily be addressed.
According to the Athletic’s Dane Brugler, one scout even used the term “Mahomes-like” to describe his skill set. Love is still in consideration for the first-round and could make his case more evident with a strong finish to the season.
