The race to be the top quarterback in the 2016 draft just got more interesting Thursday after Paxton Lynch announced at a press conference he'll forgo senior season and head to the NFL.
Lynch was a three-year starter for the Memphis Tigers, steadily improving with each season. He seriously entered the draft discussion as a sophomore, throwing for 3,031 yards, 22 touchdowns and nine interceptions. His stock then exploded this year as a result of his performance and Memphis' overall success. Lynch finished 2015 with 3778 yards, 28 touchdowns and 4 interceptions.
