He came to the Badgers football program as the highest-rated quarterback prospect ever signed.
After two mediocre seasons, it’s time for Graham Mertz to live up to the 4-star hype.
One rating service says he’s the ninth-best QB1 in the Big Ten but if Wisconsin has designs on being an elite team it needs an elite passing game.
In his third year as a starter, Mertz should be more comfortable in the pocket and the physical skills are present.
The only thing missing so far – is production.
For the record, the top-ranked quarterback in the conference is CJ Stroud of Ohio State, an elite quarterback to lead an elite football team.
