Ex-NFL QB Reveals Biggest Detriment to Trinidad Chambliss’ Draft Stock

An ex-NFL quarterback explained what stops Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss from being a high pick in the NFL draft.

Returning quarterback Trinidad Chambliss showcased his skills during Ole Miss' victory over Louisville on Sunday night, securing a 41-38 win. As he continues to excel this season, Chambliss remains a top contender for the Heisman Trophy alongside other notable players like CJ Carr and Darian Mensah. However, former NFL quarterback Dan Orlovsky, who appeared on ESPN's First Take, highlighted a major factor that may negatively impact Chambliss' draft stock.

Orlovsky, standing at 6-foot-5, suggested that if Chambliss were a couple inches taller, he would be a lock for the No. 1 overall pick in the upcoming NFL Draft. Orlovsky praised Chambliss' exceptional throwing ability, which he described as "so different" from most other college quarterbacks, praising his anticipation and fluid play style.

With a height of 6-foot and a weight of 210 pounds, Chambliss' physical attributes are believed to hinder his chances of being the top choice for higher-ranked teams in the draft.
