4. Sam Howell, UNC: Howell had an outstanding true freshman season in 2019 that saw him accumulate the second-most-valuable true freshman season ever recorded by a Power 5 quarterback. Howell showed exceptional placement downfield last year, and his 29 big-time throws on deep balls in 2019, tied for third-most in college football, reflect that. (Pro Football Focus)
