The NFL Scouting Combine is already beginning to wind down. After a week of prospects meeting with teams and working out, they’ve had the opportunity to boost their stock.

On Saturday, the football world will especially tune in. A deep wide receiver class takes the field to show their skills.

With them, a group of quarterbacks with polarizing talent will also look to get a much-needed stock boost. In fact, for some, this is their only one.

Here are three quarterbacks to watch at the NFL Scouting Combine drills on Saturday. You can watch them live on the NFL Network streaming on Fubo.

Drew Allar

By far the most polarizing quarterback of this NFL Scouting Combine. At one point, Allar was thought of as a top-10 caliber pick. A rough senior season sunk his stock.

Allar, however, might be the combine’s most arm-talented quarterback. His accuracy is shaky due to poor mechanics, but he can make every throw in the book.

He will be throwing in front of scouts for the first time since November. Can a good outing get him back into early draft conversations?

Ty Simpson

Unlike Drew Allar, Ty Simpson’s trajectory went from undrafted to now being in the first-round pick conversations. His rise was one of the most noteworthy ones last season.

Simpson elected to throw at the NFL Scouting Combine. If there’s one way to win over unsure fans, it’s to show off to them in this kind of setting.

Ty Simpson didn’t have all the advantages his predecessor, Alabama’s signal callers, had. His run game was non-existent, shaky performing—but talented—receivers and o-line, and a less than elite defense. Can he solidify his first-round ticket?

Garrett Nussmeier

Like Drew Allar, Garrett Nussmeier had high expectations going into this season. An injury-plagued and underwhelming season tanked his stock.

However, Nussmeier dealt with a season-long core injury. It stood out on tape with his inability to go through mechanics cleanly. At the Senior Bowl, he looked much more comfortable.

Step one for Nussmeier was the Senior Bowl. He is back in the day-two pick conversation. Could he boost himself into the early day-two—or even late day-one—pick conversation?
