Here’s a look at the top sophomore quarterback prospects entering the 2010 season:

1. Andrew Luck, Stanford – As a red-shirt sophomore, Luck is part of the class of 2013. However, many believe he could declare for the 2011 NFL Draft should he turn in the breakout season expected of him. His numbers (2,575 yards, 13 touchdown passes) weren’t exactly eye-popping as a freshman, nor was he setting records as other signal callers have in recent seasons. Nevertheless, there is no denying the NFL talent that the Stanford quarterback is blessed with. He looks like a pro quarterback already with his 6’4” and 234-pound frame. Luck has the release of gunslinger…once he’s ready to pull the trigger the ball is on its way to the target

Members of the Baltimore Ravens took some time out to reflect on 2009, while also looking forward to the season ahead during the second annual Ray Rice Day at New Rochelle High School on Saturday, June 12.

New Jersey’s own Joe Flacco had his eyes on the prize by taking aim at the Indianapolis Colts as a team that the Blackbirds have to be “that much better” than to go past the second round of the playoffs during the upcoming campaign.

The 6-6 triggerman also looked to the New York Jets as a prime contender for the AFC crown…a team he’ll be facing in the new Meadowlands complex on Monday night, Sept. 13.

“We’re looking to go up there and beat them up pretty good, but it’s going to a tough matchup. It’s going to be up to us to go up there and play at our highest level; that’ what we expect

The Orlando Sun Sentinel reports Florida head coach Urban Meyer has been raving about his incoming recruiting class as well as his new starting quarterback, John Brantley.  When speaking of Brantley, Meyer said “The biggest thing is the leadership issue, and he really did a good job in spring practice. There’s no question he’s our quarterback, and there’s no question we have a lot of confidence in him.”

We have heard rave reviews out of Gainesville in regards to Brantley. To the point where some are predicting he will explode onto the scene and talk himself into the draft conversation. While we’re not suggesting that he’ll leave Florida after one year of starting, Brantley is certainly one player to keep an eye on!

Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema is pleased that running back John Clay (ankles) is pain free, but he tells a Madison radio show that it’s now time for Clay to lose some of his chunk. Bielema says that Clay is as big “as he’s ever been”, but a plan is in place to get the big fella back to playing shape.

The Badgers bruising running back was listed at 248 last season, so its hard to imagine how much bigger he could possibly be and still be effective. We saw a similar running back in Jonathan Dwyer a year ago, who was projected as a first round pick entering the season and ultimately winded up getting drafted in the sixth. It’ll be interesting to monitor Clay’s draft stock, especially considering some felt he would have been a potential first round pick after his redshirt sophomore season.
