Turns out Ole Miss Rebels quarterback Trinidad Chambliss could go higher in the 2027 NFL Draft (scheduled April 29-May 1 in Washington) than you’d think.
Chambliss, a former Division II star at Ferris State, broke out last season, leading Ole Miss to the College Football Playoff semifinals. Despite the meteoric rise, many are unsure whether the 6-foot, 205-pounder can cut it in the NFL due to his lack of prototypical size.
NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah isn’t among those skeptics. He believes Chambliss belongs in the early first-round QB conversation, which includes Arch Manning (Texas Longhorns), Dante Moore (Oregon Ducks), CJ Carr (Notre Dame Fighting Irish) and Darian Mensah (Miami Hurricanes).
Daniel Jeremiah discusses Trinidad Chambliss’ NFL Draft stock
Jeremiah joined “The Pat McAfee Show” on Thursday to discuss the stacked 2027 QB class. The draft guru said Chambliss was “the most fun QB” he studied in the offseason and explained why he’s not ruling out the possibility he will go in the first round.
“I had someone ask me, ‘Hey, could [Chambliss] be a first-round pick?” Jeremiah said. “I’m like, Bryce Young was a first-overall pick. Yeah, absolutely … he’s sturdy, and he’s a playmaker.”
