QB roundup: How did the 2026 NFL Draft crop of quarterbacks perform in Week 3?
How did your favorite NFL Draft quarterback play in Week 3? I've got you covered.
This week of college football featured a large slate of top 2026 NFL Draft quarterbacks against Power Four competition. It’s about time. And now with Week 3 in the rearview mirror, it’s time to wrap-up all of the action from the gunslingers around the nation.
All-in-all, we’ve got seven different quarterbacks to talk through now that this slate of games has been completed charted through.
Again, I am only charting Power Four quarterbacks who are going against other Power Four competition. There is no more watering down the data from quarterbacks playing FCS and Group of Six competition early in the season.
The one exception this week will be Miami quarterback Carson Beck, who played South Florida. However, South Florida is a ranked opponent, so similar to Drew Allar and Dillon Gabriel playing Boise State a year ago, this game will count toward Beck’s charting data.
The quarterbacks who will not be included in this week’s data collection and write-up include:
Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza
Penn State’s Drew Allar
Baylor’s Sawyer Robertson
Illinois’ Luke Altmeyer
Oklahoma’s John Mateer
Texas Tech’s Behren Morton
Michigan State’s Aidan Chiles
Cincinnati’s Brendan Sorsby
TCU’s Josh Hoover
Arizona State’s Sam Leavitt
However, there are plenty of 2026 NFL Draft quarterbacks to talk about based on the Week 3 slate of games. So like my son’s favorite Paw Patrol pup Zuma says, “Let’s dive in!”
Sellers left this game with a concussion early on. So we do not have a good sample size to make a fair assessment one way or the other in this one.
However, leading up to the concussion, Sellers worked far more on time and anticipatory than I have seen him throw to this point in his career, making the exit disappointing. The interception came on a rotating defensive lineman dropping into coverage that he did not see. Overall, not much to go on here, but the promise of operating an offense on time was there.
At least through the scripted section of the gameplan. We didn’t get to see beyond that.
