Will Eric Dungey make the NFL? Syracuse football QB has 1 season to sway scouts

Editor's note: Syracuse football quarterback Eric Dungey gave us unprecedented access for a couple days this summer in his hometown in Oregon. This multi-part series explores Dungey's competitiveness, his injury history, his NFL aspirations and his impressions of his successor at QB.

Lake Oswego, Ore. - Dino Babers called Eric Dungey's parents this summer and gave them the same directive he gave Jimmy Garoppolo's parents before his senior season five years ago.

Handle the agent process, Babers told them. Their son was going to need one.

Babers doesn't waste time having the agent conversation with every senior, just those he believes warrant a long look by NFL personnel.
