Leigh Steinberg On Why NFL Teams Draft Quarterbacks In NFL Draft 1st Round
Leigh is the famed sports agent who, at the time of this Zennie62 YouTube Livestream Interview in 2017, represented The Denver Broncos Paxton Lynch and The Kansas City Chiefs Patrick Mahomes II as his clients, and who has had Troy Aikman, Steve Young, Warren Moon, and has Vince Young, as clients, explains why NFL teams like the Chicago Bears (at the time) go to great lengths to get a quarterback in the NFL Draft 1st Round. That year, the Bears selected Mitchell Trubisky of North Carolina State, controversially giving up most of their draft for him.
This year, Mr. Steinberg represents Alabama’s star QB Tua Tagovailoa, who came to the NFL Combine with a ton of buzz based on his pre-injury heroics. Although Tagovailoa did not throw at the Combine, he’s expected to go anywhere from number one to number 5 in the 2020 NFL Draft – and that’s before his April 9th pro day.
