Lamar Jackson #1, followed by Mayfield and Ward Jr. in PFF QB ranking

LAMAR JACKSON NO. 1, FOLLOWED BY MAYFIELD AND WARD JR. IN PFF QB RANKING

3. Greg Ward Jr., Houston Cougars

Ward finished 2015 with the No. 1 rushing grade among all quarterbacks, but while he has again been effective as a runner this season – he has forced 32 missed tackles on his way to 567 yards and eight touchdowns – it’s his play as a passer that has him this high up on this list. He ranks second in PFF grades at 92.5, and his adjusted completion rate of 75.6 percent ranks 11th in the country. His matchup against Louisville and Jackson on Thursday should be excellent.
