LSU Tigers’ quarterback Zach Mettenberger has flown under the radar.

Mettenberger had an excellent senior season for the Tigers, but tore his ACL in a 31-27 victory over the Arkansas Razorbacks on November 29.

Mettenberger will throw for scouts at LSU’s Pro Day on Wednesday.

According to Albert Breer of the NFL Network, he will then fly to Jacksonville to meet with the Jaguars.

There is an obvious need at quarterback for the Jagurs, but they seem like they may be reluctant to take one in the first round. Another team that is reportedly interested in Mettenberger are the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings, along with the Detroit Lions, Oakland Raiders and Tennessee Titans, will meet with Mettenberger on Wednesday after his Pro Day.

Mettenberger completed 192 of 296 passes for 3,082 yards with 22 touchdowns and eight interceptions last season.
