The NFL Scouting Combine begins next week, and while most of the football world is thinking about 40 times, bench-press reps and Wonderlic scores, NFL scouts are looking for quarterbacks.

Davis Webb is rising up boards. Chad Kelly is a favorite sleeper. But the name getting talked about most is a former Tennessee Volunteer who landed at Pitt.
