Zach Wilson, by all accounts, will be taken very highly in the NFL Draft later this month. Most think he will be taken second overall by the New York Jets, who just traded their previous starting quarterback, Sam Darnold, to the Carolina Panthers.
When Wilson hears his name called, he will join an exclusive list of former Cougar signal callers to have their names called in a professional football draft. BYU is one of the most storied programs in college football history when it comes to quarterbacks. At the quarterback position, BYU boasts eight All-Americans, three Davey O’Brien Trophy winners and one Heisman Trophy winner.
