Kellen Mond Is NFL Draft's Sleeper QB Who Can Start Right Away

A few quarterback-needy teams won't have a shot at the top signal-calling prospects, but those clubs can still find a starter Friday on Day 2 of the 2021 NFL draft.

Leading up to the event, analysts have highlighted Trevor Lawrence's processing capacity, Zach Wilson's arm talent, Justin Fields' physical tools, Trey Lance's pre-snap intelligence and Mac Jones' experience in a pro-style offense.

Kellen Mond has a splash of all their strengths. He didn't produce the eye-popping numbers that compare to the top-tier quarterback prospects, but the Texas A&M product has shown enough to warrant consideration early in the second round as the sixth player selected at the position.
