Ryan Finley proves he is a top NFL pick

The Wolfpack had one player, Bradley Chubb, go in the Top 10 in last year’s NFL Draft. It would not be surprising if they had another, Ryan Finley, follow suit in next year’s NFL Draft.

The expectations are high for Finley as he is coming off back to back years with over 3,000 passing yards and 35 touchdowns. ESPN’s Todd McShay even had Finley as his top quarterback on his board.

He certainly has a good chance to duplicate his success the past two years especially with his top wide receiver Kelvin Harmon, who had over 1,000 receiving yards last year. The biggest concern for Finley should be his offensive line, specifically the right side. The team will have two new starters there and if they struggle it could be make life difficult for Finley.
