In 2008, Colt McCoy learned schemes and strategy from new defensive coordinator Will Muschamp, who is back on the Forty Acres and could help Manning, too.

With that said, it is impossible for scouts not to fantasize about the talent potentially available in the 2027 NFL Draft — a class that could include a handful of franchise-altering QBs ( and several stars elsewhere ).
