Who was the best FCS quarterback during the 2016 season? It's a debatable question, of course, and here we are to debate it. Let's rank the top 10 quarterbacks in the FCS.
Last year seniors Ammon Olsen of Southern Utah, Mark Iannotti of Southern Illinois and Johnathan Williams of Grambling State — among others — put up big numbers. We also saw the FCS produce the second overall NFL draft pick — former North Dakota State Bison star Carson Wentz. Though he was injured and missed part of the regular season, NFL teams recognized his potential and he's thriving with the Philadelphia Eagles.
While no 2016 FCS quarterback is expected to be a first round draft pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, there's no shortage of talented signal-callers at the FCS level this year.
Here we take a look at the best of the best when it comes to FCS quarterbacks in 2016. With the help of our lead FCS writer Brian McLaughlin, we've compiled a list of the top 10 FCS quarterbacks based on their performance during the 2016 season.
Everything comes into play for these rankings — from passing-only stats to dual-threat capabilities and leadership qualities.
Quarterback ranking is obviously subjective — stats are important, but they don't always tell the whole story. So while we think we've come up with a pretty good list, we want to hear your opinions.
