“I think he was the best quarterback in college. They made a mistake at No. 1. He should have been the Heisman Trophy winner, too.”Terry Totman, Mount Vernon
“He should have gone first, second or maybe third. He’s going to be a dandy.”Jerry Ingles, Mount Vernon
“I think he left school a little early, but he’ll do okay. I wish he’d stayed another year and given us another shot (at the championship.)”Rick Siegman, Mount Vernon
“It was disappointing. I thought the New York Giants would draft him. He’s better than (Oklahoma quarterback Kyler) Murray.”Robert Gorham, Mount Vernon
“It was a bit of a surprise. I thought the New York Giants or Denver would take him. As a Cowboys fan I don’t like either the Giants or Redskins getting better. He has better skills than any quarterback in the draft, better than Kyler Murray.”Jim Wolford, Apple Valley
“I think it’s fine. He wasn’t happy, but he’ll do fine there.”Dianna Phillips Purdy, Mount Vernon
“I thought he would be in the top five or six. I’m surprised he lasted because so many teams need quarterbacks.”Dennis Schultz, Mount Gilead
