Both players have accounted for 40 overall goals and are considered to be leading draft choices when they enter the league. Player A is Caleb Williams’

stat line from this year. Gamer B is Bryce Young through 11 games last season, when he won it all.Blind QB contrast No. 2 Player A: 3,011 passing backyards, 14 passing TDs, 6 INTs, 67.8%completion rate, 169 hurrying yards, 7 hurrying touchdowns, 84.5 Total QBR, 11-0 record Player B: 2,858 passing yards,

that Minnesota’s Mohamed Ibrahim

(Player A) or Michigan’s Blake Corum (Player B)could measure up to Derrick Henry’s (Gamer C)dominant Heisman Trophy-winning season from 2015 with Alabama, but through 11 games, their statistics are not too
