Athlons: Ranking the Big Ten's Quarterbacks for 2015 (#8: Mitch Leidner)

[BleedGopher]

per Athlons:

8. Mitch Leidner, Minnesota

2015 Year of Eligibility: Junior

In his first full season as Minnesota’s starter, Leidner led the Golden Gophers to an 8-5 record and a 5-3 mark in Big Ten play. The Minnesota native passed for 1,798 yards and 11 scores and rushed for 452 yards and 10 touchdowns last year. While Leidner’s debut was solid, there are plenty of areas for him to work on in 2015. Leidner has to become a better passer after completing just 51.5 percent of his throws last year. The struggles in the passing game aren’t solely on Leidner’s right arm, as Minnesota has to develop more playmakers at receiver. That task is even more critical with the departure of tight end Maxx Williams to the NFL.

Pretty uninspiring list of names. Once you get past Sudfeld at #6 the rest could basically all just be lumped into one big group and really outside of the Ohio State trio who should probably be 1-2-3 on the list with the rest starting at 4.
