Inside the Numbers: Best Big Ten Quarterbacks in 2020

It is hard to believe, but the 2020 college football season is on the horizon (barring the potential disruption that COVID-19 may cause). Players have begun to report to campus for voluntary workouts, and it is now time to look ahead and preview which will be the best in the Big Ten

Therefore, for the next several weeks, this column will rank who will be the top 10 players in the Big Ten at each position. To be clear, this is not a ranking of the best returning players based on last season’s performances. Rather, this is a projection of the players who will stand out above the rest at their position this season, taking into consideration depth charts, schemes, and schedules.

This series will rank one position group each week pursuant to the following schedule:

June 17th: Quarterbacks

June 24th: Running Backs

July 1st: Wide Receivers

July 8th: Tight Ends

July 15th: Offensive Tackles

July 22nd: Interior Offensive Linemen

July 29th: Defensive Tackles

August 5th: Defensive Ends

August 12th: Linebackers

August 19th: Cornerbacks

August 26th: Safeties

As you can see, I will be kicking this series off with the most important position on the field.

The signal caller at the top of this list will not surprise you, but who will be the quarterbacks that most challenge him? And will either Dylan McCaffrey or Joe Milton crack the top 10 given that they are embroiled in a competition for Michigan’s starting spot? The answer may surprise you.

On that note, let’s unveil who will be the 10 best quarterbacks in the Big Ten in 2020.
