    Not a puppy fan, but Aaron Murray is terribly under-rated on that list. He is still the SEC leader in career passing yards and passing TD's and is second only to Tebow in TD's responsible for. Not shabby at all for very good, but not great Georgia teams. I'm still sore that he left Tampa and didn't come to UF.

    Also, I'm assuming that Joe Burrow must not have been a 5-Star QB not to appear on that list.

    I think Kyle Trask was easily better than some of the QBs on that list.
