Put QB Mitch Trubisky in the back of your mind for 2017 NFL draft

Posted Nov 2, 2016
For now, remember the name Mitch Trubisky. He's the quarterback at North Carolina and grew up in Mentor, Ohio, just outside of Cleveland. With no defined quarterback at the top of the draft list, Trubisky has emerged with his play. He's big -- 6-foot-3 and 220 pounds -- and accurate. He can stand in the pocket and make a throw and can move as well. (ESPN.com)
