In addition to his combine performance, it helps how Dart is coming off his best season, having tallied 4,279 yards and 29 touchdowns plus a 180.7 passer rating in 13 games. To cap off his collegiate career, the QB threw for 404 yards and four touchdowns as Ole Miss dismantled Duke in the Gator Bowl.

There’s one unexpected name you’re hearing a lot leading up to the NFL Draft: Jaxson Dart. The Ole Miss quarterback is quickly becoming the biggest benefactor of silly season, with Dart being a mediocre player, entering a shallow pool of prospects, and now fully in “fake it ‘til you make it” mode.

Yahoo Sports NFL analyst Nate Tice and NFL writer Charles McDonald discuss why the Ole Miss quarterback - who was placed third overall in a recent mock draft - should not hear his name called on the opening night of the NFL draft.
