DeShone Kizer

QB, Notre Dame

The Rex Ryan experiment in Buffalo is over, as the organization said farewell to Rex and his brother Rob before the season ended. After Anthony Lynn took over as the interim coach, many believed he would slide into the job, but Lynn has since been named the head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers. Instead of Lynn, the Bills tabbed Sean McDermott to be their next head coach, giving the 42-year old his first shot at leading an organization.

While McDermott certainly has the talent to be a successful head coach, he takes over a roster with question marks at the most important position. Prior to the 2016 NFL season, the Bills made a huge investment in Tyrod Taylor, who was believed to be the future at the quarterback position. However, Taylor took a huge step back last season, and now the team has no idea who will be under center when they open up the 2017 campaign.

DeShone Kizer of Notre Dame looks the part, having all of the physically skills you want to see in an NFL quarterback. The issue with Kizer has been his decision making at Notre Dame, and plenty of people felt he could have used one more year with the Fighting Irish. Still, he is too physically gifted for a team with a huge hole at quarterback to pass up, and the Bills may take a shot at No. 10 and bring him in to be their next long-term answer at the position.
