USC QB Sam Darnold is the talk of the NFL Combine, and he's not even in Indianapolis. The rising redshirt sophomore is not eligible for the NFL Draft until next year, and he could stay in college for three more seasons, but whenever he decides to come out, the professional scouts and executives are salivating for his services.
After the above tweet, NFL.com analyst Daniel Jeremiah expanded, "This isn't a big surprise. Personnel executives have spent the last month or so watching a ton of tape. When you're studying draft-eligible defenders against USC, (Darnold) jumps off the screen. He only has one year of college playing experience, but he's clearly captured the attention of NFL evaluators."

While Darnold has all the attributes of a great quarterback, Jeremiah loves his poise above all else. "He has ideal arm strength and athleticism, but the best part about his game is his uncanny poise. He never gets too high or too low during a game and he almost looks bored inside the pocket. When evaluating quarterbacks, poise is the second-most important trait, right behind accuracy. Darnold is one of the most poised signal-callers I've seen in the last few years."
