What NFL Draft experts are saying about QB Mitch Trubisky

Posted Dec 8, 2016
"There's really only one guy right now (as a potential first-rounder), and he might not even enter the draft. That's North Carolina's Mitch Trubisky," Mel Kiper Jr. said in a recent ESPN Q&A. "Trubisky has thrown 28 touchdown passes to only four interceptions, but he's still green — with another year of seasoning, he could be the No. 1 pick in the 2018 draft." (Carolina Blue)
