There’s a shortage of quality quarterback play in pro football. In other news, grass is green and water is wet.
While this year’s NFL Draft class might not feature the most promising list of names on paper, teams will very likely “reach” a little higher than expected to try and find their answer under center.
According to Tipico Sportsbook, former Liberty standout Malik Willis (-150) is the odds-on favorite to become the first quarterback selected during the draft. And, given the quarterback shortage, it’s unlikely his wait is long. The team that makes a bet on Willis might very well be the Detroit Lions at No. 2 overall. Don’t count out other quarterback-starved squads like the Giants and Panthers, either.
