Where could QB Chase Garbers land in the 2022 NFL Draft? FrontOffice33 | NFLDraft
Former Cal quarterback Chase Garbers was among the most surprising 2022 NFL Scouting Combine snubs when the list was released last month.
He’s put his name in the Cal record books, breaking Joe Kapp’s record as the all-time leading rusher among Golden Bear quarterbacks. Garbers rushed for a combined 1,174 yards in college, a total that may have been even higher if not for a collarbone injury that caused him to miss some time in 2019 and the shortened COVID season of 2020 that lasted only four games. His 11 career rushing touchdowns were also a program record for the position.
Garbers hasn’t shown he has a howitzer for an arm, but he has adequate arm strength to get the job done and certainly enough to suffice at the next level. And as a pure passer, he has a smooth release, throws with touch, can fit it into tight windows, and can make throws on the run, even if he’s not a player known for doing a lot off-script.
