Davis Webb taken by Giants in 3rd round of NFL Draft

Davis Webb, Cal football’s quarterback in the 2016 season, was taken in the third round of the NFL draft by the Giants on Friday night with the 87th pick.

After initially being graded as a fourth- or third-round talent by most media analysts, news started to spread that he was more highly regarded by scouts within the NFL. Clearly, the media ended up being correct. After the conclusion of Cal’s season, he began working with former NFL head coach Jim Zorn, who took it upon himself to sing Webb’s praises after Cal’s Pro Day.

“Truly, I would not have a problem with having Webb come in and starting right out, and getting him involved right now because he does have a strong personality, I think he’s very forward in getting in the mix,” Zorn said.
