The Unproven

3rd String/Backup Hopefuls:

Alek Torgensen. Penn. Age: 22

Torgensen threw for over 6,900 yards at Penn University and was acclaimed to be one of the better quarterbacks in the Ivy League Conference. Blessed with Prototypical size and natural placement with football, things could get interesting to see how Torgensen plays out if he can make it to training camp and get playing time during the pre-season.

2016 Stats Prediction: DNP

Austin Trainor. U. West Georgia. Age: 25

Journeyman who has been everywhere from Florida A&M University to time with the Spokane Empire in the Indoor Football League. Besides his limited playing time with the University of West Georgia and brief stint with the Buffalo Bills, there isn’t much to know about Trainor and he seems to be just a camp arm for now.
