UCLA quarterback Brett Hundley probably could have come out this past draft class, but it’s likely a good thing that he stayed in school. All of the 2014 quarterbacks saw their NFL Draft stock fall during the evaluation process, and if Brett Hundley was indeed behind Teddy Bridgewater on the big board to begin with, then it’s a good thing he came back to Westwood for another year to hone his skills.
The money is still there in 2015, especially since Hundley was rumored to be signing with Jay-Z’s agency. Now Hundley and his fellow Pac 12 signal caller Marcus Mariota headline the ’15 class of QBs.

As an aside, Hundley displayed his acting chops, well kind of, it’s not that challenging of a role, in this fundraising video
Coach Jim Mora and teammate Luke Gane co-star with Hundley in this mildly entertaining video entitled the “Campus Enforcer.” It’s a bit longer than it needs to be, but I didn’t see the plot twist coming at the end so it’s pretty solid.
Of course, Brett Hundley does his work in Westwood, not Hollywood. And he’ll make his money tossing pigskin, not reading scripts.
