If Zach can get to the level John was at, he’ll be a 1st round lock imo.
I don’t see anything close to that happening though. Not taking anything away from Zach, he’s been good all things considered and he’s also been extremely young/inexperienced. Plenty of potential there, but John Beck was just so much better. And lucky for us Zach has an opportunity to be that good.
I wanna shoutout Beck. He made it look so easy. Week after week he torched defenses during his Sr campaign. I’d even say he’s one of the most underrated BYU players of all time, even with him being held in high esteem already. That’s probably my age talking but Beck was just, I don’t know, Fluid.
If Zach keeps building on his successes like Beck did, I would think his chances of making an NFL roster long term would be very high. He’s deceptively quick, and he’s taller than most realize. He could really grow into an elite player as he matures, but I just don’t see it happening. At least at BYU. And that’s probably the saddest thing I’ve said in a while.
He’ll be a great QB for BYU, and will hopefully take the team to at least one 10 win season, but I’d be shocked if develops like Beck did. He’s good, can be great, and I hope he proves me wrong.
Go Cougs!
