QB: JAMIE NEWMAN, GEORGIA

The addition of transfer quarterback Jamie Newman from Wake Forest has a far larger impact on Georgia’s 2020 squad than most people think. Most know him for his mobility and athleticism, but Newman’s arm talent is legit, and he’ll finally be in an offense that’ll allow him to showcase that.

He wasn’t in an ideal situation at Wake Forest, yet he still managed to produce an 85.7 passing grade that tied for 14th in the FBS. Newman threw into a tight window at the highest rate by a mile, and his accuracy was pinpoint on those throws — he had the fifth-lowest rate of uncatchable passes thrown en route to the second-highest grade in college football. Not to mention, he was one of the best deep passers in the country, owning the third-best grade when throwing 20-plus yards downfield.
