For those without insider:
[SIZE=4][B]10. [URL='http://espn.go.com/college-football/player/_/id/382584/ryan-nassib']Ryan Nassib[/URL], Sr., [URL='http://espn.go.com/college-football/team/_/id/183/syracuse-orange']Syracuse Orange[/URL][/B][/SIZE]

Laugh and mock now, but come draft day in April, both Syracuse fans and college football followers will have a different perception of the gun-slinging QB from upstate New York.
Before the season, two league executives shared with me the very high draft grade they had on Nassib a season ago, and that was before he passed for 3,600 yards and 24 touchdowns this season. Not only did every one of Nassib's numbers improve dramatically over his three seasons, but this season he carried an average Orange team to five wins in their final six games to get back to the Pinstripe Bowl.
The school record-holder in nearly every meaningful quarterback mark is also a graduate student with a double major in finance and accounting who carries a 3.57 GPA. Tough, durable and powerfully sturdy, Nassib has a chance to be a starter at the next level, and an eight-win season for Doug Marrone (if the Orange can win their bowl game matchup with West Virginia) would be a good start for Syracuse as they push into ACC play.
 
Finished ahead of Collin Klein, Derek Carr, Jordan Lynch, Tyler Brey Tyler Wilson, EJ Manuel.
