ESPN’s Jordan Rodgers believes Ole Miss star Trinidad Chambliss should be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2027 NFL Draft.
Rodgers made the case during an appearance on ‘Get Up’ earlier this week.
“Trinidad Chambliss, hands down, is the best quarterback in college football and he should hands down be the No. 1 pick next year,” Rodgers told Mike Greenberg. “He makes throws that guys aren’t making in college.
