Number Two: James Morgan

James Morgan is a 6-foot-4, 213-pound quarterback from Bowling Green and Florida International University.

Morgan, 23, had a shaky start to his college career at Bowling Green where he spent his first two years before transferring to Florida International and seeing exceptional success.

In his two years at Florida International, Morgan completed 61.5 percent of his passes for 5,312 yards with a touchdown to interception ratio of 43 to 12. His career numbers prove that his two seasons at FIU proved to be a match made in heaven.

In his career, Morgan completed 57.2 percent of his passes for 8,654 yards with a touchdown to interception ratio of 65-34. The pro-style quarterback had a great combine as well. Morgan ran a 4.89 40-yard dash, a 7.51 L-cone Drill, a 4.64 20-yard shuttle, has a 9-foot-4 broad jump, and a 29-inch vertical jump.

Morgan has already had talks with the Saints following the 2020 NFL Scouting Combine, and I would assume Morgan is somewhere on their draft board.

Morgan is projected to go in the fifth round of the 2020 NFL Draft, and it will be interesting to see if the Saints get the opportunity to snag him, having both a fourth and fifth-round pick in the coming draft.
