Mitch Trubisky gone after this season?????

These conversations started circling several weeks ago. UNC’s junior quarterback has played very well this season.

In fact, Mitch Trubisky has turned a lot of heads. After Marquise Williams graduated last season, nobody outside of UNC’s team knew what to expect from Trubisky.

Last season, I heard several people say that they thought that Trubisky was better than Williams. I concur that.

However, I’ll add that Trubisky is best-kept secret at quarterback in college football right now. His game is tailor made for the NFL. He can make a variety of throws. In addition, he is a pocket quarterback who has a great deal of mobility.

His performance against the Citadel was mediocre; for him. He completed 11 of 20 passes for 184 yards and three touchdowns.

This season, Trubisky 69.7% of his passes for 3,188 yards with 25 touchdowns and four interceptions. Trubisky ranks fifth nationally in quarterback rating (85.3).

Again, Trubisky gone after this season? Just in case he bolts for the NFL, enjoy some of his 2016 highlights below:
