COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — SEC fans should enjoy all the top-notch quarterbacks while they can because many of the great signal callers in the league won’t be around for long.
A.J. McCarron, James Franklin, Aaron Murray, Connor Shaw and Zach Mettenberger are wrapping up their careers, and this could also be the last month to see Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel play in college. All but Franklin, who has been slowed by an injury, are semifinalists for the Davey O’Brien Award, given annually to the nation’s top quarterback.
Mettenberger isn’t sure that quarterback play will drop off in the league next year. He says: “No one thought that Johnny Manziel would do what he did last year, so who knows.”
