Zach Wilson and Aaron Roderick, BYU’s third-year starting quarterback and third-year quarterbacks coach, look like they are having an absolute blast playing and coaching football this season.
Why wouldn’t they? Both are football junkies to the nth degree, are part of a Cougars team that is undefeated midway through November and ranked No. 8 in the national polls, and Wilson is a bonafide Heisman Trophy candidate, albeit still a long shot because, frankly, he doesn’t play for a Power Five program.
What’s more, Wilson is putting up video game-like numbers, and the junior is looking like a lock to be taken in the first few rounds of next April’s NFL draft, perhaps the third QB taken after Clemson’s Trevor Lawrence and Ohio State’s Justin Fields, a topic that most of the rest of this article is about, we promise.
