Don't believe everything you think.
Today's game was far from Trey's best, but he still showed exceptional athleticism and popped on a couple throws. He's not as consistent as he needs to be accuracy wise, but he has all of the tools teams look for.
Coupling his performance last year with simply getting through today healthy, he will still be a first round pick if he declares. He won't leapfrog Lawrence, but I would not be surprised to see him drafted as the 2nd-4th QB this year (along with Justin Fields and Kyle Trask, who is looking great and I think will be a first rounder).

Unless the NFL moves the draft to like June 1 there is no way he is playing 25 plus games in fcs in 2021 then going to the draft in 2022.. that is way too much risk..
NFL scouts look at more than stats...he missed quite a few throws.
That being said, I agree, he's gone. The combine will be his chance to show his worth. There is not a guarantee that the spring season will even happen...who knows what the case will be after the winter sickness season kicks in.
He's still a top 3-4 QB in the draft no matter what, which is setting him up nicely for some $$$
Would be dumb for him to risk getting hurt over a possible spring season.
How cool would it be for Zeb to have an insane season, and get drafted?
Long shot , I know, but he stuck it out, and knew that he wasn't gonna play...until COVID happened. Now he has a chance to prove himself. The world works in mysterious ways sometimes. If he plays spring games (assuming they happen) and tears it up and we win another title, he could possibly get drafted. (although later rounds I'm sure)
We have history of QB's, so NFL scouts take that into account!
What other school could say their last 4 QB's all got drafted in the NFL?
Would be a pretty cool story
Best of luck to him!
We live in strange times.
I think Trey is a future NFL QB.
I think Trey isn't ready to be an NFL QB for a couple years.
I have no idea what I would do if I was Trey.
I wouldnt say he's top 3-4 no matter what. There are a lot of QB's playing this fall. The assumption was that he would be playing and maintaining a high level of play. Lots of guys are getting their shot at doing that now.
He may still end up being a top 3-4 guy, but thats not a certainty.
