The Memphis signal caller is drawing plenty of attention in college football and from NFL scouts. What makes him as successful as he is?
When the Ole Miss defense takes the field on Saturday against Memphis, the opening third-down conversion they surrender won't come off the arm of some average-to-below average quarterback. No, that creation of exasperation among Ole Miss fans will be due to Paxton Lynch, Memphis' talented redshirt junior quarterback.
In case you're not up to speed on Lynch, allow me to provide a lightning round of facts (#facts): Lynch has thrown zero interceptions in 2015 (out of 146 passes), completed over 70 percent of his passes, and is third in the nation in passing efficiency ratio -- all of which have helped build Memphis to a 12-game winning streak.
