2013:
Jeff Driskel (QB Florida)
30/1

2. QB John Brantley, Florida
Let’s face it: Brantley just didn’t fit in Urban Meyer’s spread-option offense. It didn’t utilize his strengths (passing accuracy) and spotlighted his weaknesses (mobility).
At times last year, Brantley was one of three quarterbacks on the field at the same. Chaos ensued, and Brantley had a season to forget.
With Meyer resigning came good news for Brantley. Charlie Weis, former Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator and Notre Dame head coach
was hired to lead a NFL-style offense in Gainesville, an offense that best fits Brantley’s style of play.
First, Brantley has to win a heated quarterback battle over
Trey Burton, Jordan Reed and freshman Jeff Driskel. If Brantley is able to do so, look for him not only grow by leaps and bounds from his miserable 2010 season, but into the Heisman Trophy spotlight.
