Davis Webb 2017 NFL Draft Profile<\/strong><\/h2>\n

For the second straight year, scouts on quarterback needy teams have their eyes on a prospect out of California. After the Los Angeles Rams drafted Jared Goff<\/a><\/strong> first overall in 2016, his successor as Golden Bears starter looks to get his name called at some point. Though his hype train isn’t roaring as loudly as players such as Deshaun Watson<\/a><\/strong>, Mitch Trubisky<\/a><\/strong> or DeShone Kizer<\/a><\/strong>, Davis Webb possesses plenty of traits that teams at the next level covet.<\/p>\n

Webb initially committed to Texas Tech and saw action in ten games as a true freshman, throwing for 20 touchdowns and nine interceptions. A year later, he found himself on several prominent watchlists for postseason awards. He started eight games before an ankle injury prematurely ended his season. But as a junior, he ended up behind Patrick Mahomes<\/a><\/strong> on the depth chart and subsequently decided to transfer.<\/p>\n

He originally announced he was transferring to Colorado but ultimately found himself in Berkeley. The native of Prosper, TX received immediate eligibility as a grad transfer. His lone season at Cal saw him put up hugely impressive numbers. He ranked in the top ten among FBS quarterbacks in passing yards (4,295) and touchdown tosses (37). His 51.7 attempts per game led the nation.<\/p>\n

Add in his impressive Senior Bowl performance, superb Combine data combined with a cerebral approach to the game and you have one of the more intriguing quarterback prospects in this year’s draft.<\/p>\n
